its £1 ... really how bad can it be ... even if its an awesome scam to scam a thousand people, you are only loosing a £1 ..... if you need something to hold a bottle you cant go wrong
well unless it snaps or doesn't fit
personally I only pay £60 for CF bottle holders ... its about the image don't you know0 -
Probably they are made by slave children also but I bet the £60 ones are 2. :x0

It's not carbon fibre... it's a lookalike in plastic. There is no way you can manufacture at that cost... don't think it even covers the cost of raw material (being that the lowest possible quality)left the forum March 20230

Looks just like carbon fiber.......
It's plastic. And the 'carbon' effect paint isn't very convincing. Did you honestly think it's real carbon fibre Moonbiker ?0 -
Its not really important as for a bottle holder plastic is an ok material.
Looks like a custom elite.0 -
The seller also sells loads of other ridiculously cheap goods that all look fake.1998 Kona Cindercone in singlespeed commute spec

Yep they are Elite Custom Race copies which are also made from plastic. They dont look too bad for £1. Still seem like a good bargain. Might grab a couple.0

Yes, however
1) fake carbon looks as ridiculous as an air spoiler on a Fiesta
2) If your bottle holder fails and you have nowhere else to put your bottle, you might be in trouble... little things can cause major hassle... don't underestimate the role of a bottle holder... mine are in titanium and virtually indestructibleleft the forum March 20230
