I'm a little bit calmer after a night's sleep....erm
I measured my postie @ 20(l) x 17(h) x 7(d) inches. Ideally, I'd like something the same size and shape.
When I checked out the large workhorse it looked way to small. If I manage to get a basketball in there I doubt it'll hold much else.
In general, the messenger bags seem to wide enough at the top, but are too narrow in the bottom and aren't high enough. I'm worried that once I get a ball in there, they won't close properly at the top.
The Bagjack looks like it could work out. The linked shop is out of stock, and I didn't understand enough German to navigate the official site last night. I haven't been able to find a UK stockist that's still got them.
The Banjo Bros bag doesn't seem to have the height and (according to the list) isn't in available in UK now.
Tbh, I'd probably paid too much attention to the talk of Chrome being "trendy" and ruled out what could be a very suitable bag. Hipsterish behaviour in itself, I suppose...doh.
Popped into Condor, but they said they couldn't get hold of any Kremlins...Chrome don't seem to be doing them anymore.
The other starred bags are all just generally too small.
Which I guess leads me to ask:
Anyone know where I can pick a Seagull Standard Pro/ Chrome Kremlin/ XL Workhorse in the UK, or to be able to try one on in London would be ideal.
I'm hoping to have my bag before I head back to Bristol for xmas.
