Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered the black black classic covert medium from REI. $45 with CA tax, shipped to store.
I've always used a rack attached bag for long bike hauls. I figure that this is a more versatile briefcase type bag that is bike-worthy and walk-worthy. A good compromise for someone doing a little of both.
Damn! Just checked REI's website and they're sold out of the black/black. Missed it, you must've grabbed one of the last ones. I think I might grab one of the old gold before those get sold out too. (Old gold is one of my school's colors anyways...)
