eBay Finds: Vintage Rudy Project Explorer sunglasses

Our look through eBay in search of hidden gems from cycling times past has turned over these vintage Rudy Project Explorer sunglasses. There's no indication as to which year these were purchased, the Explorer was one of Rudy Project's early models, introduced in 1987, and this rather fetching pink version would suit any Giro d'Italia leader, past or present.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
