• Guess I posted this in the wrong place on the courier bags thread last week,but not sure this is the right thread either, but let's see!

    I'm looking for a new rucksack / backpack, something suitable for bike use, flap top for waterproof ness etc, but also suitable for carrying a laptop amongst other stuff - have a carradice cadet at the moment but it doesn't fit a laptop and I'm not so keen on keeping a laptop on the bike itself.

    Was looking at the Brooks range - the pickwick, Dalston, Hackney etc and they look very nice and have the features I want, but are rather pricey. Does anyone have any experience of them, are they any good, and is there anything else worth me looking at?

    Prefer something other than the standard black nylon type bag, something a bit more interesting looking.
