Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Everyone says it's supposed to loosen up over time though so hopefully it won't be a problem for long.

I would have liked to have gotten a Freight or a Chrome, but Chrome is just so played out in general, and already a few of my friends have Freights. I really like center-break strap design, it's so much easier than having to put the bag over your head every time you want to take it off.

If money were no object I'd get the new Freitag messenger
and that's what it is all about right? not function or quality, but how popular they are. Oh god, chromes are everywhere. well ****, why'd you get a reload then? those are getting popular.

Give me a break. It's just one, of many factors, obviously. Chrome, Freight, and Reload are all great bags. So which one do you choose? It comes down to the smaller more trivial details.

i have the original freitag expandable and love it, but it definitely has the weakness of being a shoulder-sling type rather than an angle type like freight, bailey, chrome, &c. that new one seems to fix the (few) issues i have with mine.
