Got them off AliExpress for $65. Very good quality and fit for the price. I can’t compare them firsthand with the much more expensive frame and top tube bags that I wasn’t willing to pay 4x for but they are certainly good for now.
I blacked out the logo with a Sharpie and DIY’d some access holes to use my frame mounting points so no additional straps were needed. All in all pretty satisfied so far. The top bag will not fit most smartphones unfortunately.

So far you bike is the only one I’ve seen with these bags where the bag fits spot on. Looks good, let us know if you actually feel any aero benefit. If nothing else, it’s some nice and sleek storage.
Got both of these as well. Really like them, but same complaint about top bad and phone.
Rockbros are a garbage knock off company, I wouldn’t buy hanging from them.
Looks like a seedless fit. What bike is that?
Those look really nice. That said, Rock Bros did copy the original Apidura design to sell out of China so you can get the same look for less money, but I personally bought the original Apidura ones to support the folks who did all the original design and R&D to give these awesome bags. 🤩
I have the apidura version (I got at dealer price) And hardly use them. Great for longer rides though for carrying food instead of shoving it in jersey.
How does the frame bag attach to the top tube? The pictures I see are with Velcro straps which you dont have?
What bike are you using?
Which frame is this and what size is it?
Can you show how you DIY’d the access holes? Did you just cut a hole in there or did you also add some sort of support?
Rockbros products are amazing value for money.
FYI: I used a heat gun to heat up a pointed rod that has an insulated handle. Once it was super hot I melted the holes. If you need 100% waterproofing which I don’t, you could probably add a couple of neoprene washers.
Rock Bros. Copying the everyone else’s designs and selling as thier own. These are knock offs of the Apidura set.
I’ve been really happy with the Rhinowalk Top Tub Bag, easy zipper pull, I can fit two large phones plus some snacks, has direct mount bolt holes.

We have a [local shop](https://www.thespindleatl.com/spindle-custom-bags/custom-spindle-bags) that makes custom bags and having a bit of storage on rides is awesome. They have some standard designs as well for small frame bags.
Don’t know how common this is but if you have a shop like that don’t overlook it. It was cheaper than I thought it’d be.
FWIW I like the rock bros bags. It’s a good solution.
Looks super clean and nice!! Do they also have a long version of the middle frame bag? Still I guess a need a frame with those mounting points.. It seems they are super rare.
