Messenger / Courier Bags List

Cheers for heads up, which TK Maxx were you in?

Edit. Just saw non London, cant read. Might check out Brixton one tomorrow.

Yea I noticed on my travels that if there is more than one of the stock then probably it's in most stores. Check the two in central (Charing X rd/Tottenham Court, and Covent Garden) if you don't have any luck. I'd be surprised if there are none in stock.

Good luck!

I'm looking for a messenger bag at the moment. It needs to be as waterproof as possible, and one that doesn't swing about when you are cycling. I've looked at the chrome citizen one, and it appears to have very positive reviews, the right size for my requirements and looks very sturdy; anything similar to this I should be aware of?

need suggestions; looking for rucksack. Size wise 20-30l but I don't mind a little more. Have looked at ortlieb velocity and messenger and a few rucksacks on bagaboo. Can anyone suggest something similar to these for the same price ? (80-100)

mighty be too big, but really rate mine http://blahol.pl/bag/newwave

just been reading the thread and saw this ! looks neat but I don't know how it will be when i'm only carrying a limited amount. What do you use yours for?

couriering, it cinches down quite well with the side and bottom straps but it will always be a big bag.

Gonna search these out next time I'm in Warsaw

Good people of the forum, are there any bag companies out there making custom or OTP bike travel bags? I have a shitty one from wiggle and it's starting to break. So thought I'd look into getting a new one, don't want to buy a box or any kind of hard case as I need to be able to roll it up and carry once off the plane.

Thanks

Theres someone in Germany, http://lifeisaride.de/ never seen one in the flesh, but I'm sure you can find out!

Yeah just found lifeisaride on instatwat, love the look of those bike travel bags, not that I’ll likely to need one anytime soon unfortunately. Mash also made something very similar with an America company for big $

Saw that one myself, was about $5/600? I think....
This one is roughly £308 on current rates, so more in my range at least!

Bloody Germans, putting diareses even on every i. Where will it end?

Once everyone and everything has them on!

This is very close to what I would be after. Although still a little big once rolled up sans bike. Cheers for the heads up they look great.

The strap on my Carradice Super C bag is trashed - like all non-padded straps the webbing has bunches and is now uncomfortable and difficult to adjust. Does anyone sell a suitable padded strap I could sew on myself? The bag has some sentimental value, but I don't want to spend £££. The only replacement straps I've found are Mission Workshop, but at £50, at which point I'd rather just spend the extra for something like a Bigxtop mini messenger.

What kinda strap are we talking about? I may have some padding and material.

Edit: looking at photos does it just clip to the bag through the loops? Grab yourself a camera strap - something like OpTech USA if you feel famcy.

No, this is the super c courier bag - on one side the webbing strap is sewn to the side of the bag, and on the other it loops through a plastic thingy sewn to the other side of the bag and runs back to the adjuster buckle bit. Because of the way the weight of the bag is across the width of the webbing it soon bunches up.

Oh hmm. How are you planning on replacing it then? Just buy something? I’d still query buying some webbing or even using the padded bit from a sports bag for comfort. I can’t picture it exactly, but if you’re handy the materials aren’t expensive.

There's a nice rare pac designs large messenger on eBay at 120 but open to offers. If anyone is interested.
Legendary bag.

^^ Bag in the link is mine :) Open to selling on here if anyone is on the look out.

@InternetFamous

I'm really fighting not to buy that bag, I already stocking pilling Pac bags. I have 4 of different sizes / vintage.

I note your has the strap which can be switched between right and left swing. How are the mental buckles holding up ? The ones on mine have rusted really badly. It has been used in some dreadful weather but it so bad I've stopped using the bag and moved back to using an older model.
