Still got this.
Price drop to £110.

Bit of an unusual one this I think... but hopefully this is the right place to find a new owner.
FSA 'SLK Light' Hollow Carbon crankset, with a 'matching' Stages LH Power Meter crank.
Crankset is 39/53 130mm BCD and 172.5mm. The Stages crank is alloy (not carbon).The power meter works fine and calibrates in the Stages app over Bluetooth. Also supports ANT+ There is a small crack in the plastic housing which the previous owner has glued and used to cover with a bit of inner tube or tape. Consequently it's probably not 100% waterproof without a bit of additional protection.
The left crank also had a fair amount of shoe rub, so I cleaned off the huge FSA logo which has made it look a bit better.
I think this is MegaExo standard. It's certainly the 24mm axle diameter from that standard, but the bottom bracket axle is too short for my Roubaix frame (68mm shell) with external MegaExo bearings. So, to be honest, IDK! It also has a different spline pattern to other FSA cranks!? I guess that's the beauty of standards; so many to choose from. To that end, I've included a pic of the axle with a ruler to make your own judgement.
Comes with the strange wavy washer thingy that FSA needed.
Given the price Stages LH only cranks go for, I'm thinking £130 might be realistic for the set? (acknowledging it's not Shimano and not exactly mint condition).
Can post at cost with Royal Mail (probably £5 ish)

Actually, the legs look like the original M-frame, but those crystal frames always cracked above the eyes, either side of the centre. So, I suspect the frame cracked and the legs were re-purposed onto some other, non Oakley, frame.
-
I'm not convinced the first pair are actually Oakley. The legs look like Blade/Razor Blade legs, but I don't recall Oakley making a frame like that. I'm thinking some hybridisation has happened here.
I'll happily be corrected, it's been more than 25 years since I worked in retail with Oakleys, but that puts me about the right vintage!

It comes with a bar mount AND a velcro helmet mount. I purchased an options GoPro compatible mount because my Garmin mount has a GoPro fixing on the bottom. So, mine sits unobtrusively below the Garmin on the front.
The bar mount would work for rear facing if you mounted on the seatpost I guess, but it might stick out too far and hit your legs, depending on how much post and clearance you have.

I have one of these.
The battery life is good and the video quality is acceptable. It's not a GoPro, but for commute use it works fine.
There are some frustrations:
- time/date gets forgotten when the battery dies. This makes the cheap spare battery they sell less attractive, as the date/time will be reset if you switch.
- the process for setting the date/time appears simple but is rather baroque.
- the GoPro mount (for attaching camera to existing GoPro mountings) is alloy and slightly thinner than it needs to be, so hard to get tight on some mounts.
- the LED is impossible to see in sunlight. Luckily it vibrates for on and off.
- mine had an annoying rattle, which I traced to the glass lens on the front. I fixed it by (counterintuitively) loosening the end cap and taping it sealed with some insulating tape.
After all this, it's defintely worth the money. Find a mate and buy 2 for the extra discount, or just run them both yourself.

Too many holes for me I'm afriad, but hope you don't mind me asking if you bought this direct yourself? I've been after some LB rims but seems that waiting and paying the shipping/tax is pretty much the only way.
GLWS.
What’s the story with the head tube mounted cable guides and lack of down tube bosses? 1984 is way before STI so assume it’s been modded sometime along it’s life. Can you shed light on that?
