Anyone had any experience with the Carradice courier bag?

I'm a Carradice fan, but I like to stick with what they do best... saddlebags.

If I was shopping for a courier bag today, I'd get a Chrome. I have three different sizes of Timbuk2 bags that have served me well, but the Chromes are awesome.

Chrome makes the best messenger bag out there.

I can see why Chrome is so popular. They look hi-tech and well designed. The bag I have is a hand sewn no-name and it dates back to the mid '80's from a New York firm that supplied virtually all the messengers during that time period. Its made from sail cloth, vinyl and metal buckles. Black sail cloth outside, yellow vinyl inside.

Delta makes a similar hi tech looking bag that doubles as a pannier and a backpack.
