Chrome is the shit. My g/f has a mini-Metro and I've got a Citizen and Metropolis and I'm about to get a Sultan (huge back pack).

Their customer service is second to none and a lifetime warranty...why the fuck wouldn't you get one?

[jepmonk]

where do you guys order your SAG bags from?

[monkey nuts]

where do you guys order your SAG bags from?

Shop Gentei in baltimore. hit up there website they will ship and are cool cats for sure.

[lazytiki]

in all seriousness, get a black visvim. sickest looking bag and it's actually functinoal. I checked it out at unionla, I wish I could drop that kinda cash.

The Visvim bag looks really nice but for half the price you can get a bag from PAC Designs. Pac bags are so big and durable and the x-strap is amazing! For less than the visvim bag pac can fully customize a bag for you! http://www.pacdesigns.com

chrome bags are the new timbuk2, fuck em. i've got a custom black reload bag thats just way too big for every day use, so i'm going to ditch the medium chrome and get something a little bigger and custom. probably going to go with this local guy thats done nice stuff.

edit: haha fuck that visvim back. so many plastic zippers, zippers + work bag = trouble, plastic ones break, metal ones rust. plus where's the water proof liner? cordura's cool and all but unless you got industry standard truck tarp liner shit kiss dryness in serious weather goodbye

[so-so]

Does anyone know if the visvim bag is waterproof?

There's a few secondhand places I know that have them, and from a quick feel, they feel solid, but it didn't seem thick enough to have any kind of a waterproof lining, I'm not sure though.

edit* I guess zelah beat me to it.

[kenthenoob]

everything visvim is waterproof.

i'm still deciding on a messenger bag... but since i'm not even a messenger, i might jsut get the chrome roll-up bag.

anyway, i was bored and browsing around and stumbled onto this:

(click pic for link)

kinda cool.my friend's bikeshop has this one orange freight bag that i want... maybe i'll pick it up tomorrow. maybe.

except for the whole lack of proper lining

plus the last people that bag is made for is messengers

[chingon]

I never said I was a messenger, and I doubt the dude whose parent's are buying him a bag is one either, (and I might guess that nor is anyone on this forum!). I mean seriously, we all want a bag to perform, but after a certain level, it's aesthetic. My reload is cool, but doesn't work, or is as comfortable as my old chrome, or perhaps a backpack, but I'm not interested in that look.

I'm just saying, Visvim bags look dope, and they will do the trick. I probably couldn't feel comfortable with one on my back, but my reload cost over $225, so maybe I shouldn't say shit.

and whose lbs sells porter bags?!!! sickness.

Chrome bags are real nice.

Ive had the Citizen, and now use the massive Kremlin. Ive been able to use the bag beyond its capacity, which is nice. (I have a right shoulder grey/black Kremlin, but I need a left shoulder bag. If you guys kno someone who also has a Kremlin in grey left shoulder, but wants a right shoulder, hit me up.)

Plus these bags have lifetime warranty...

Jermy has a Freight Bag. Its pretty big/nice. But I actually like the seatbelt buckle on the Chromes.

I want one of their backpacks. (Chrome)

those backpacks are so money.

i am in for the middle size.

[aydo1]

i been using a chrome backbone it's pretty comfy and super spacious.. only problem i have with it is there are no medium sized pockets.. like if i toss a binder in there it's just flopping everywhere, so usually i have a small backpack inside my backbone, in which i keep my hw and shit. it also has those side straps that you can secure large pacakges with, if you're gonna be doing messenger work. runs like 160

DON'T RiyDE AFTER DRNKING THIS MUCH WISZKEY. EVERA! DON"T DOO IT.

[so-so]

Yeah, not a messenger, but I do want a bag that's more bike specific with less emphasis on 'can also be used for school!'

Man, I could never ride home legitimately drunk. Slight drunk alone had me at a should i really be riding type mindset.

[monkey nuts]

and whose lbs sells porter bags?!!! sickness.

the only place I know to get Head Porter shit in the USA is the stussy shop in NYC.down in soho.

[wild style]

Plz join the Superfuture cluster on Velospace.

Thx.

[sidneylo]

Ryan you still want these jawns or what? call me plz.

Talking about messenger bags, in Mash what was the guy doing at the desk with the sewing machine? Was he making a messenger bag? I couldn't tell what was going on. Its 25 degrees out with an even worse wind chill, after watching mash this morning I was pumped and I couldn't last the cold for 10 minutes.

[meta]

Wild style, I saw on your velospace account that you put on a front brake. How did you place it on your risers? Next to your stem?

[wild style]

Sidney, if you are around tomorrow afternoon, I can meet up. I have my bike with me too, so let's ride and shit.

Meta, I had the brake lever as close to the grips as possible, but it didn't sit right on the bend and looked dumb. A couple of weeks ago I switched to flat bars and it works out a lot better with the brake. I'm digging it so far.

[meta]

Yeah, I have a similiar problem. I cut the end off my oury grips but the grips feel too small. I should probably check out some flat bars.

[mlproject]

Yeah.. the dude in mash sewing bags and riding with the fucking massive box is Travis Poh that does freight baggage. Dude gets rad.

[wild style]

You down, Mike?

[mlproject]

[sidneylo]

U a homo. U show me ur underwears everytime u ride in front of me. No homo.

[murdered out]

very happy right now. heres the roady i picked up today. frame will be shaved clean with new powder coat job or anodized, i cant decide yet. then other little things like a new fixed rear hub, new handlebar and stem, taking off the brakes, and some nice rat traps.

[dokydoky]

In 10 years people are going to be so pissed at fixed gear riders for ruining so many nice vintage road frames.

[stuntastic]

FUCK... Another frame for a good deal slips away...

But my "grail" frame is just that much closer...
