I think some of the great Brands produce their frames in China. The only difference will be the lack of good quality control, which is in that case a life saver...

Trial master is a boxy design anyway but I would say they size up one small. Eg M is actually S.

Does anyone know how the sizing is on the Belstaff trialmaster replicas? They don't sell them in small and i'm a pretty skinny guy at 6ft 155lb so i'm not sure a medium

Just get one from Nashbar if you're planning to actually ride the bike instead of just hanging it in the wall and looking at it.

I had never ehard of Nashbar. Thanks, I'll do some more research!

All posts report dead links, that's why I keep asking....

For you and anyone else, if you have a dead link, look at the url. Take those keywords and search in Ali.

I'm sorry.

I already bought and received that pen, I probably wasn't clear.

I'm happy with the overall quality but can't say in detail as I never held a gen one.

It doesn't feel balanced and the screw feels like it's going to break the next time you change the refill.

But looking at it results very well finished (logo, incisions, "Made in Germany" under the clip,...)

The writing is not smooth and sometimes, probably depending on the angle, the ink do not come out. I'm used with standard "BIC-like" pens, do they made something like that? The one I got is called "rollerball", which ones should I look for?

Can't find the SN#, where should I look for it?

For less than 10$ I really suggest it as I also have bought a Mechanic pencil from the same seller...

SN is on the clip ring on the opposite side of "GERMANY" etching. You can buy montblanc refills from a lot of places - try department stores especially.

The rollerball and pencil are good - but the fountain pens aren't worth the effort.

Ordered a LV Speedy super rep (or whatever the leather goods equivalent is called), a Bottega Veneta leather bracelet, have 3 LV "Multiple" wallets coming in damier graphite/ebene/azur, and a Hermes idem belt. I was going to get a perfect Goyard Boeing with custom monogram, but the damn store was shut down the day after I found it!! The monogram and stripes looked pretty damn good too, gonna have to keep my eyes open for him in the future..

Hopefully all of the orders get out of China before CNY starts too

As so many people in this thread have bought Yeezy 350s I thought people might be interested in this video on how the laces are intended to look compared to traditional lacing.

I realize some might consider this ridiculous, and if you do, please keep it to yourself.
I will receive mine Soon, and will follow the advice !! Thanks mate.

Got a pretty good belt! Pretty happy with it! Same seller as the Hermes belt. I don't wear the Hermes belt, but would wear this one. The Hermes belt is too flashy.. Not sure if it's leather. I don't think the real on is anyways. It's like a canvas, or whatever there bags feel like. Didn't have a chemical smell. Came with bag, box, papers, it all! And it's on sale for 28 right now.. Cannot go wrong.

Here you are.

Sellers name: gantian Lin. His stores been operating quite good without being shut down. I'd prefer to keep it that way incase I decide j want another belt! But you can PM me for a link. Lol communication is one words, but if I have a question he is quick to answer it. Doesn't seem to get when I said

"You have the best quality reps I've seen! Keep up the good work!"

I got back: "Friend, I sent best quality. I do understand. These are reps, not perfect but if you order another, I'll send best quality. I'm sorry you don't like my good work."

So then I had to explain to him what I meant. He said

"Ok"
Then another message
"Thanks"

Lol oh the language barrier. Cracks me up!

Can anyone link me to the seller of the good Goyard belt mentioned previously in this thread? The link has gone down and I'm struggling to find the store. Can't find the post either! Tapatalk needs a search in thread function...

The belt is gone. But if you buy this one and ask for the Goyard belt they'll send it. I just messaged the seller today about it.

True to size afaict. I guess if i had to say, they run large by a very very slim margin (and I'm talking like fractional centimeters in the toe).

You should be fine ordering your normal size

Okay Okay.... VALENTINES DAY is coming up. Probably a good time for most to start ordering something special. Part of me feels cheap to order a gift from AE.... but what the hell. Name brand stuff in America all comes from China anyways :) Any good gift giving ideas? Any good jewelry on AE? The two diff bra & panty sets I ordered were surprisingly decent quality. I recently picked up a 1 carat CZ diamond ring on AE for $1.98. I even bought roses before the big unveil of the ring and the wife thought I'd dropped a fortune. She kept asking how much I paid thinking we couldnt afford THAT much. A couple hours later I finally told her. Shes been wearing it often to work (big firm in a big high rise) and one of her friends is a sworn jewelry expert (freak). She was fooled and was blown away by it. Several days later my wife finally told her :) The compliments on a $2 ring (free shipping of course).... WOW. Plus I also picked up that $38 chanel bag too.

The $1.98 ring...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/GH62...ngs-for-women-18K-Gold-Plated/1652943787.html

the bra (was $9 when I ordered). This is almost an exact copy of an Agent Provocateur set I got her...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fren...xy-Transparent-Bra-And-Panty/32432105087.html

So not sure what else to get her! Id really like to get her a high quality rep bag. Will need to scout around for something nice. Celine bags seem popular right now.

for me I just picked up a 2-in-1 macro and fisheye lens for my phone :)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Apex...cle-lens-with-20X-Macro-Lens/32440377392.html

So anyone with any good Valentines Day gift ideas.... PLEASE post! Thanks!

I did tons of research before ordering my bike using the bikeforums link above and other sources. I do most of my own work on my bikes and have put a crap load of kilometers on the Chinese frame above in the last three years. I wouldn't order from a random store but manufacturers like HongFu, DengFu, ICan and Great Keen make consistently reliable frames that I would personally trust after a thorough inspection. Don't buy one of these unless you know what you're doing. Bikes from major manufacturers fail as well. I had to replace a seat post on my BMC because it cracked on me during a descent when I hit a pot hole!
