Anyone recommend any decent makes / models?

Looking at this at the minute:

I have a Crumpler that I love. It's been battered and abused all over the place for years and there's nothing wrong with it.

before anyone else says it, did you try the search function before you posted this, it has been covered before.

This is what you want

Or he could just be asking local people in Norwich, as this is in the Norwich forum. Perhaps he wants to see some up close?

Yeah fuck off UTFS mother fucker. Use your fuckin eyes. This is the Norwich part of www.lfgss.com.. Sorry, just pisses me off when people get on their high horses obout reposts. Will rename approprietly!

On another note, I got some wicked designs at home, just need a sewing machine now!

lol cheers guys :D

Ive got an old piece of bannering and some clips used to hold trolleys togther, when i go back down to brighton wanna try out a DIY bag. I have a Crumpler somewhere does the job...

furry muff, thought I was being quite polite, and the link is a good resource of info about messenger bags which is what the OP was after.

Toodle pip

Fairs, long day! Much love!

No worries.
As for bags, I have a ltd addition howies timbuk2 bag (Identical design to a medium timbuk 2), really hard wearing (2 years use and 2 pretty big spills and still going strong), very waterproof (commuting in Edinburgh and no issues). Can be a bit loose and swingy if it ain't quite full with something. You definately need the shoulder pad if your doing anything with a bit of distance. There is no back padding so you have to pack accordingly and I could prob do with a slightly bigger bag but that's just personal. Got mine on sale so was a bargain and very happy with it. Mate of mine got an old bag off a posty, absolutely huge and he loves it so that is an option, will require some work to make it bike friendly, mainly just a x strap mind

I am running a North Face bag which i got cheap off Cotswold. All good, but aint overly impressed. Try a roll top backpack. Guaranteed to be comfyer!

Yeah I like the Howies bag (I'm friends with a few of the guys there), but wanted something a bit more plain... either way, finding £90 for a bag isn't gonna happen soon.

have alook @ the Banjo Bros Messenger bag, or better yet the backpack. Spenceey raves about his!

Both £80-90 from www.URBANHUNTER.biz

And this is therNorth Face one...

only about £60. Think I paid £35 for mine:

Like this but in the large size!

Cool cheers - might have to wait see what Santa's got in his sack this year :D

Good old Chris Cringle!

BANJO BROS Backpack! I love mine, I've still not actually got around to filling it completely up yet either. Very well made.

Have you seen TRAKKE?

They are made up in Glasgow.

Sorry but they're fucking hideous, are they anything to do with you seeing as you've posted about them in every region specific messenger bag thread on this forum?
1 post in 2 years and now 3 in 20minutes....

Just trying to bridge the gap between glasgow and london man. There aren't enough messenger bag companies actually based in the UK, so im just spreading the word a bit. Sorry for any offence.

Nice handbags, ladies.

Nice handbags, ladies.

Lovely pun, good work.

After wearing my BRP Violet Hip Pouch now for a couple of weeks i would never use or need alot more space. The messenger bags Scott is coming out with are true genius, in black only and the fuckin shit! £340 may be steep, but u get what ya pay for! Black Rainbow Project til def!
