Vincita Bike Bags

Last weekend, I dropped by the Thailand Trade Exhibition at the World Trade Center in Pasay.  I was told that there was one booth there that manufactured bike bags, so I checked it out.

Vincita is a Thai bike bag manufacturing company based in Bangkok.  Its been producing bike bags since 1987.  They provide a wide range of bags including those for handlebars, top tubes, seat posts, and rear racks (panniers and rear rack bags).  They also sell hydration backpacks and bags to transport your bikes.

I met its managing director, Mr. Yingsak Sinhaseni.  He showed me their catalogue and I spotted a transport bag designed specifically for Brompton bikes., the B132 Transport Bag for Folding Bike with Wheels.

I got excited because it only cost P2,400.00 ($56.00), which is a great deal!  They did not have one in stock, but I got to check out the other transport bags there and I noticed that they're built tough: heavy-duty black nylon cover, with foam padding inside.  There are castor wheels at the bottom and shoulder strap on top for easy mobility.  Vincita actually patterned their design after Brompton's B Bag.  The former's definitely a better deal because the latter costs close to $200 (P8,600) at NYCeWheels, without tax.

I ordered one B-132 Transport Bag for me and some more for my co-Tiklopers.  Will wait for Mr. Sinhaseni to tell me how much shipping and handling will be, and hopefully, we get the bags by the end of the month.

So excited!!!

  4. I don't think so. The B-132 Transport bag was designed specifically for the Brompton. But Vincita does produce transport bags for Dahon-sized folding bikes. Check their website at vincita.co.th
