Few things say "my frame is fake" louder than riding a Factor with Elite wheels with the logos

the china rotors make it obvious

here are my bibs so far

Cheji bibs with the red chamois pad - 5/5

These are by far the best bibs I've purchased from AliExpress! The quality is excellent, and the fit is perfect (size L for me at 75kg). The red chamois pad offers outstanding comfort for both short and long rides. It’s so good that I bought a second pair when they became available again.
I’ll only buy Cheji bibs from now on, and I even suggested they consider offering cargo bibs. They said they’ll let me know when they do.

Hiserwa bib with EI pad - 3/5

I initially received the wrong bib, but Hiserwa quickly corrected the mistake by letting me keep the wrong item and sending the correct one. The fit is good (size L for 75kg), but the compression makes me feel like a hotdog in the tights.
The EI pad seems decent, offering adequate cushioning, though it feels abrasive without chamois cream. Also, the leg length is a bit long for my preference. For the price, it’s still a solid option, but I’d rather spend a little more on the Cheji bibs.

Interestingly, the "wrong" bib they sent me turned out to be surprisingly good. The pad isn't EI, but it's comfortable and offers good support, and the fit is excellent. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find this exact bib on AliExpress, but it seems similar to this one, but without the cargo pockets.

Thinkrider with grey bibs and cargo side pockets - 3/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005377374398.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.19fbf19cpVzLBr
These bibs are affordable and still offer good quality. The sizing is on the smaller side, but they fit me OK (consider sizing up if you don’t want them to feel like compression tights). The cargo pockets are functional and fit my Pixel 8 Pro comfortably.
The main downside is the pad, which is fine for shorter rides but not ideal for longer ones. It feels abrasive without chamois cream, so I recommend reapplying it for longer rides.

ZRSE with green dolomiti pad - 3.5/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006735510853.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.3e85f19ceows1J
The fit is great and true to size, and I love wearing these for short rides. The green Dolomiti pad is marketed for 6-hour rides, but I couldn’t even last 2 hours with it. The pad’s design is similar to my Assos bibs (which have a pink pad) but doesn’t offer the same level of comfort. Despite applying chamois cream, the perforated design of the pad makes it less durable, and the cream doesn’t last long.

I only did a quick ride around the block with it, but it feels damn good. Can't wait to do a real ride with it.

Speeder did the paint job.

I also ordered it. How long did it take to receive it ?

From my experience, avoid DHL and FedEx in order to skip duty taxes. DPD is great for that.

But ask to the seller what he recommands to you.

Thank you for your comment 1st of all-full of interesting insights about this topic.

You mention that you made bank transfer. By going down this path did you confirm with seller that tax & customs will be covered by himself and that he will declare real value on the package ?

I'm trying to use the most optimal method here=avoid paying high transfer fees and be sure that once package will arrive at home I won't be issued to pay extra taxes & customs.

THe only other way besides PayPal is an International Bank Transfer, but that does come with risks and wether it is a reputable seller say LightCarbon or TanTan.
I just made a payment via bank transfer myself. As for tax being included, that’s often misleading. Some sellers use freight shipping methods to try to circumvent customs duties or declare a lower value on the package. However, if customs opens the package and doesn’t believe the declared value (e.g., if you paid $500 but they declare it as $100), they will likely request proof of purchase before releasing it."

Tax Inclusion – Some sellers claim "tax included," but unless they use a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping method, the buyer is usually responsible for taxes.

Customs Declarations – It is common for sellers to declare lower values, but customs authorities can request proof of purchase and may impose fines if they suspect fraud.
