I took a half day todayin anticipationof my new Caja Sahel top box arriving. Of course, I had no guarantee that it would arrive today , but I took the half day anyway.
Got home and this is what was on the kitchen table
Out with the stanley knife and two minutes later
Then, as if he had been watching me in his crystal ball, Philip McGobnagle, the man behind Caja Sahel was on the blower to check that it had arrived.
Philip – “Hello Keith, did that wee package arrive safely?”
Me – “It did. You couldn’t be accused of under wrapping it anyway”
Philip – “Aye, that might have been overkill but I wanted to be sure it didn’t get damaged in transit”
Me – “No fear”
Philip – “Now, that top box is a bit fiddly to mount, what you need to do is….. “ (proceeds to give me detailed instructions re mounting)
Anyway, to cut a long story short, it took about five minutes to mount the box and here’s the end result
I’m delighted, not only with the box but with the excellent service I got from Philip. It took about two weeks from time of ordering the box until today. It would have been here sooner had it not been for the powder coater slowing things down. Philip was extremely generous with his time talking me through the design and making the box my exact specifications.
The box itself is like having a safe mounted to the back of the bike. It’s a seriously well made bit of kit. That looks and feels like it will last for life. I reckon from pricing and seeing Zegas and all the rest that you’re getting a much better product for less money. When you factor in the excellent personal service and the fact that you get a handmade box to your own specifications you’re really on to a winner.
