Default Fast Bikes Subscription

Anyone on here got the subscription with them??

Seems pretty good
£21 for 6months (minimum 1yr)

and you get free oxford panniers with the subscription!

Sounds good in my mind!

What are the panniers like? Anyone know what model etc they are?

Looking forward to receiving them and my 13 magazines over the next year!

The latest Oxford ones got a Ride magazine recommended rating, so they can't be bad.

I've got some and I'm happy with them

I like Fast Bikes too, but I need them to change the offer on subscription before I get it, as I don't need 2 sets of panniers

Got the panniers with my subscription. They are smallish and come with bungees and coloured inserts. I think theres a rain cover in there. Seems very similar to these http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/5...-Time-Panniers

The material isnt the water proof kind but great as freebie.

just shows you how much it must cost to make those panniers if they can give them away with a mag sub

I got these just before the AR.

Was impressed with the panniers, although I still can't work out what the inserts do. And he waterproof bags don't fit very well once the panniers are strapped to the bike...IMO.

Sv is featured in the latest mag as well, although hardly a fair comparison vs a Vfr, Mille and a fireblade I think lol
