Buying gear off the net?

[Mully]

I've noticed a lot of cheap bike gear on Trademe, should I be weary of these? I'm not an expert but how can you tell if it's just a cheap chinese knock off or something? Like this for example http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-159153681.htm

I think one tonne is a member on here.

For most gear, I always want to inspect it first, and tardme limits your ability to do that. JMHO
Did buy some cat crap and just recently a neck warmer off tardme though...

you can't beat actually holding something in your hands before paying for it. having said that online traders like quasi will stand right behind their product and have a good reputation.stick to what/who you know i say.

Thats not accurate We dont use China, the leather isnt good and the quanities required are usually huge.

I don't purchase from China for leather wear as I have found the quality to be not of a high standard.

Alright, I have a question: is a size 44 jacket around about a Medium (say) Shift/Alpinestars?

mmmm not really, its the larger side of medium mate, Im a 44, I actually wear a 46, and I aint that big
If for you I would say youre more of a 42, but you need to allow for the BP as well mate and clothes so maybe a 44 would be good for you

Whereabouts are your leathers made? And where do the materials come from?

Who do you use, Quasie?

[Quasievil]

To many competitors around here for me to publicly post to much about it, suffice to say we source our leather from one country and get it made in another, additionally I personally go to the factory x 2, I know them and trust them and they work against MY standards and specification.
Lastly to the name brand junkies, my factory makes some of the very big brands in the market, ie AGV, Feildsheer, RST, HELD, Frank Thomas, KOMODO, as well as some others.

I dont fuck around with it, thats why Whitetrash can crash 6 times on the track and not burst a seam once
