Came across this framebag on Aliexpress, looks pretty reasonable and price is cheap except that you have to buy in lots of 5.

Anyone seen/tried these before?
 
I haven't tried that frame bag, but if I were you, I would buy this frame bag.

It's been proven and everyone I know of on this forum likes this frame bag. It's made of durable material, and is sold right here in America. What's not to love?
Spend the extra $10 or $20 and get a bag that you know will work.
That's my advice. Hope you can reach your decision :mrgreen:

Yo, he lives in Australia, that's just embarrassing for all of us! :mrgreen:

This one is similar size and shape -

I like this form factor. Want to keep my bottle on the down tube. The one on Ali looks like it might be a little tougher. Sell the other 4 on ebay - I might buy one!
That bag on eBay looks nice, i just ordered it. Yeah being in AU i am a bit of a eBay fan.
Normally doing a search on eBay that bag doesn't show up but is order-able via that link and does say international shipping so should be good.

Yeah the falcon bag looks good but too big for my bike frame which already has my controller in there.
I think that eBay one will be perfect.

I also put cell-logs in a top tube bag holder which I think looks pretty good.

I got two of that shape one on eBay.
I used the velcro straps on them to attach both together as small triangle tube saddle bags with RC lipo in them. I think it's what I am ultimately after, as its in the triangle frame like I wanted but I can easily take it off for charging as its in a saddle format.

A ahh I can't attach pics on the forum unless I resize, too hard on ipad.

Do you now how much 5ah 6s 15c lipo fit in the ebay bag?
Fits only 2 easily for 5cm width, you can fit 3 but the third is a total squeeze and bulges out the side and makes the width 10cm at around the middle of the bag, I don't consider 10cm width for each bag acceptable. A third lipo pack could fit at the pointy end of the pack if it was about 3-4cm longer. Ultimately its just not the perfect shaped triangle bag for 3 lipo packs.
I am talking 15cm by 5x5cm Turnigy lipo packs here.
I jumped on my PC and did a bunch of resizing so I have pictures attached. Maybe this forum should get an imagemagic resize module or something.

I also bought one of these out of interest, http://www.ebay.com/itm/896025-New-Force-Bike-Triangle-protected-frame-bag-bicycle-2-5l-104g-Black-grey-/180916808088?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1f7b6998

Interestingly despite it looking smaller it actually fits 3 lipo packs without any increase width, it can be zipped up easily enough even if it looks kind of tight in the photo.

The 2.2 or now 2.5 lire volume description on the ebay seems to be a bit of a stretch of a claim I think. But still anything of this nature is hard to come by for triangle frame battery bags that are convenient.

I pulled mine off my ebike when I got home today for a recharge and I can say it was significantly easier to deal with having it in a saddle bag formation... I think because you don't have to get down into crouching position/eye level with your bike frame like you would when removing a full on triangle bag it just makes it a nicer less hassle experience. I realized this situation when having the battery on the back rack of my bike, its nice to just stand there and deal with it all. Now I can do that with the battery in the triangle frame area of the bike.
 
thanks for picutures. I orderd to soon.
I was think i can fit 4 battery 5 x 4 x 15 cm in one bag.

I need 12s 2p for work traffic.
The falcon bag looks good but i think it is to big for me.
