You know, I was a pedal pushing last night on the way home and they were chiding me on the "messenger look". I guess the bag, with the phone holder and a fixie does it. Not posing, just doing what works. And if you think about it, those guys haul **** all day long, and have to physically survive. Add to the fact they work thier equip hard: would seem what they have works. So, some of it is copy, but not a matter of style, but a matter of what works.
