A jet black Chrome Kremlin bag.

I take back anything I ever said supporting timbuktoo - this thing is SWEET!!!! It swallowed my old bag whole. I wouldn't be surprised if it fit TWO cases of beer (and maybe some whiskey - have yet to try...) I didn't even have it anywhere near adjusted to fit me on the ride home, and it didn't move.

Yeah, I shouldn't be allowed in LBSs when I'm drunk...

But this bag is SWEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Chrome Bags. I have the laptop bag. Great deal from the outlet. Definitely bulletproof and doesn't look like the 5 million Targus bags out there...

nice. a friend on mine is headed to SF this week and is going to pick up a Dually backpack at the Chrome store for me. Can't wait. I'm going the two strap route. less posenger-y. equal opporunity for my shoulders.

I just received my grey/white Chrome Metropolis yesterday and I love it. I have two Timbuk2 bags that I had been using and this thing is much nicer IMO. The Timbuk2's are nice, especially for the price since they are cheaper, but the design of the Chrome bag is just better. I love the shoulder pad being stationary and the buckle strap release. Rode around with mine today and was able to fit a ton of stuff in it, I can't imagine what one could fit in the Kremlin.

I have a navy/black citizen and I use it everyday. I would not trade it for any other messenger style bag out there. Funny when people ask me if it is a real car seat belt buckle.

I think I'll be really happy with it. I'm probably too skinny to be wearing it when it's not full though... I have to cinch everything down a lot... It's a lot easier to adjust all of the straps though... The only problem I've thought of so far is you can't really shorten the straps too much - they're going to be totally flopping in the wind. I usually carry a lot of tools/extra tubes/etc with me, and those feel a lot better on my back.

I'm going to have to go get some more tools so I can just be a rolling bike shop... I've got the space now...

I love my black Kremlin. Very stable with heavy loads. Last Xmas I had 16 bottles of wine in it
