@all Thank you guys for your comments. The only reason that I am tempted by rimless glasses is that I can find them online under 50$ which I think is a good investment if the rimless can last at least two years.
I wanted to add a sportive and a rimless glass in my glass collection.Right now i am looking for the lightest option of frames. If rimless are not a good solution, do you suggest me to buy a full- rim titanium frame instead? Cheers...
