if you go to the store to try one on, keep in mind that once broken in, it will seem smaller. when they are new and stiff, they look absolutely enormous and don't conform all that well. give it a year (or i guess less if you're messing) and it will begin to wrap really well and seem smaller. i think anyway.

i have a chrome metropolis and its great. sometimes it is a bit too small when i wanna carry a laptop, shoes, clothes for a day, books, other ****...but its usually awesome, can fit everything and isn't bad when empty. i actually like it emptier, fits swell.
but trying it on is def key

Bikes: looks like a specialized crux now
my bag is just about the same size as a reload, and it has only mild torso wrap and ass wrap. but it holds about the same amount as my 50 liter backpacking bag
