Thing is at the moment I'm really only looking for a bag to get some clothes/lunch to and from work and make the occasional beer/grocery run, so I'm not sure I need something as serious or expensive as a chrome. We shall see.

i've decided that i'm going to start saving for a r.e.load courier. so far i'm looing at it being about $153 for the bag, two outside pockets and pen slots. i think i'm going to do a u-lock holster in there too.
i should have it in a month or so depending on what i can save!

Sounds good ive thought about selling my chrome and getting a reload or baileys but just couldnt justify parting with it. Enjoy it whenever you do get it!

Depends on what you get. There's a section in there. They add on for every detail and add a ton on for embroidery or more than different color swatch customization. Click on the bag you want and it'll take you to the options.

I have two Timbus 2's (M and L, real SF made old ones). I was very pleased with them untill i moved and started to use my bike, and messengerbags, more (commuting etc.)...
In matter of few weeks i ordered real messengerbag(Bagaboo), and it have been worth every penny!

I've had 3 timbuck2's since 90 without any problems. I use chest strap and a shoulder pad so comfort isn't an issue. I've always liked em BUT if I was buying a bag today I'd look @ another brand.

It's funny, I almost got rid of my messenger bag because I didn't want to appear trendy. However, it's still more comfortable for cycling than my backpack. So, I guess I'll deal with being thought of as a 'posenger'....
