Saddlebags from China!
« on: March 25, 2012, 01:23:57 PM »
Well I ordered some side bags for my bike, being a cheap skate I found the most low cost product available and for $50 delivered (free from China via China Air) I awaited eagerly the arrival of my bags.
Ordered 8th March and arriving 26th so not bad for "free".
Described as "faux" leather so I expected plastic coated cardboard and am not too amazed to find they are pretty much that.
The size is what I wanted and as long as they are not left out in the rain they should be OK, bling as cheap buckles ruin the look and I will either replace them or remove alltogether and just glue some velcroe to keep them closed.
So if you want some very cheap saddlebags delivered free (but slowly) and you don't mind dodgy workmanship check out "Aliexpress", you will get what you pay for! ;D

Yeah wish we had Wal-mart, the only thing we see from there is "Peopel of Walmart" regularly which is a hoot, like who dresses that badly to go out in public? ;D
