Yeah, i'm planning on getting a bag for commuting to uni this year. For me panniers look kinda weird...I haven't seen a single person using them at my school. I know I know, who cares what they think right? But yeah, i'm looking at the chrome bags too, I like the chrome citizen messenger, and the backpack ranchero that they have. I'm not sure which one i'll get yet.
