made the jump from a timbuk2 bag to a chrome ranchero. two very different bags. I've used a timbuk2 bag since '97 with no problem (survived a motorcycle accident). But this year I needed more room and looked into the reload bag. I noticed they didn't have a sternum strap so in came the chrome. So far I like it; it's a backpack style, more room than the timbuk2 and the more important aspect is: it looks good.
That's my story about bags. The end.
