Timbuk2 Messenger Bags - Medium
I recently purchased these (off of eBay) in hopes of replacing my worn out one. For different reasons, neither of them worked for me so I am looking to pass on a good deal to someone that might be able to.
Decided to keep this one for school events.
New Price of $15 plus shipping. con US only, PayPal only.
#1 Blue & Yellow:
has seen some use but in good condition. This one does not have a separate laptop pocket.

For what it's worth, the yellow/blue "triathlon" one looks exactly the same (except color) as the one I used to have, which I bought when they were still handmade in San Francisco, in the Mission district. I loved that bag, and my wife accidentally donated it one day. Sad face.
EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't just musing, but rather was trying to make the point that the blue/yellow one looks to be of exceptional quality. I used mine regularly/daily for years with no significant wear.

FWIW, my medium Timbuk2 "Classic Messenger" bag fits perfectly in a Wald 137 basket.

What about a cross chest strap? I jump with a Chrome bag and always like to use that strap. Those both look nice!
GLWTS!

fwiw - love the brand, I've been torturing a "Hunchback" rear rack trunk for years & only 1 Velcro strap tore from my abuse. but the design allows me to insert a new strap of my own.
here's someone's video about their bag

No one cares
i have the same model as that first one. I've had it about twenty years. It used to ride daily on my back on both bicycle and motorcycle travel. It even went cross county on that back of my Yamaha FJ1200 from Philly to San diego.
One time it was strapped to my back seat and somehow fell off, getting sucked into the rear wheel. Caused me to stop immediately but thankfully not crash. it ripped a small hole in the front of the bag and left some black marks, but aside from that to this day its still useful.
