Curbside did have the Chrome backpack when I was in there last but they have been shifting around stock so quickly that who knows what will be in there next time.
I'm personally saving for a beatiful PAC deluxe with X-strap, hidden pocket, lock strap and a custom front panel <drools> but first I need my frame to finish being airbrushed (can't hurrt art though) and built up so I can enjoy spinning when its THIS NICE OUTSIDE.
the custom bags take a while to get but if you can live with a stock colour then you can always call them and ask what they have in. i got mine shipped to me and it took about a week, but would have waited to get it if i had to. although push the envelope bags look just as good quality to me, even smarter in design in some ways. plus you can stroll into urbane and talk to the person who sews them. anyone know if they're making their hip pouches anymore? i sold mine last year (stupid) and now i want another one. don't seem to have them at the usual spots though...
