Messenger Bags around here?

[zacheryph]

I'm looking into getting a messenger bag, but was gonna see if anyone here had any recommendations or possibly knew anywhere around here to see them. I'm looking at Chrome and Crumpler mostly but heavily leaning toward a Chrome bag. thnx.

Oh yeah first post. Hello everyone on Forc. Dave and Carol recommended this site to me. I've only had my bike a few weeks so haven't been able to hit any of the trails yet. (name drop bad? :x)

I'd personally get a rack and pannier. Look on nashbar.com.

I am on my 2nd Chrome bag and I love it. First one (Citizen) was great for occasional use, but found it to be to small for everyday use when I needed to carry my laptop, rain jacket, and a 40 oz. for the way home, so I got the next size bigger. Watch their website for deals.
