still works. they were actually out of stock of a shirt I ordered and sent me a free shipping coupon to make up for it... problem is they don't stack, but I emailed them and they're gonna take it off the backend for the replacement I got instead

Yeah, I ordered the accessories pouch because my old one from my Timbuk2 bag is wearing down after 3 years of constant use. It showed up as 10$, instead of 20$, in the checkout screen, was 5$ after the coupon, so pretty sweet.

Also, I have to say I am pretty impressed with their customer service so far. I had a hard time choosing a color, ended up ordering the pastel blue/black because my Ortlieb is already bright yellow. Woke up this morning, had a complete change of thought, and I decided I wanted another yellow bag. I sent them an email telling them what was up, emailed me back less than an hour later saying it wasn't a problem to switch colors.

EDIT: Ordered a Metropolis, which is 40 cu l bigger than my Ortlieb, so I wonder how huge it is going to look on my 5'8" body. I was thinking about ordering either the Mini Metro or Citizen in addition to it, but I am not sure. I just like huge bags.

Yeah, I saw those reviews. I guess they updated the velcro, though, but we'll see.

If anything, I can just mod a clasp to it, which I was already thinking of.

Just to let you guys know, apparently the Chrome discount DOES work for Gift Cards.

May be worth it to stock up on gift cards to use in the future. Maybe in conjunction with other deals to multiply the effect.

If any one ordered a gift card, did they send you the code fast?

Also, note that the chrome discount code does stack with their other offers apparently.

So for instance, if you buy certain bags you get half-off accessories.

Add the 50% off code and it comes to half-off back and 75% off the accessory.
That brings the Chromo logo tee down to $5, laptop sleeve at $10, utility pouch at $5 and accessory pouch @ $5.

I noticed it's been slower than usual, too.

Anyone know how long this is going on for? I was thinking about picking up a smaller pack.

This sale was actually posted on a few much larger 'deal' websites, which is probably what brought the site down temporarily (and ended the sale).

For instance, one site its listed on (slickdeals) has this listed as a "Front Page" deal and the dedicated thread has almost 14,000 views (over 10% of the views of this entire thread in one day vs one year). As soon as I saw this deal on their site, I knew it would be over soon. For reference, traffic from that site brought down HP, Best Buy, Sams, Staples, Office Depot and Office Max (among countless others) a few weeks back when the Touchpad went on sale.

If it goes in Slickdeals in the US or RedFlagDeals in Canada there is always a mad rush. I got one of those Touchpads las month... it arrived in the mail last week

I was at the Wabi shop a few times over the week to get my rear wheel fixed. Richard is as awesome as people say and all of the bikes are beyond gorgeous.
