    Who distributes them in the UK, I really like the brand but there appears to be very few stockists.

    Unless you want a large black youll have to go direct .

    Id love almost any colour bar black – rasta would be ideal in large.

    But why would i want black ….. I want to be seen on my bike !

    Cotswolds do large blacks

    Brakes, I bought mine (Large) in store from the Surgery. Admittedly it is plain black, though.

    As to why black (above) – Because I don’t just use mine on the bike. It’s carry on luggage for long haul flights, use it to take laptop etc to meetings in a suit. Black – It goes with everything, dahling. 😉 As ot being seen on the bike – An array of v bright lights and additional reflective gubbins works!

    all my bike gear is black, and my bike.
    so I obviously want a black one. 😀
    I also want to add some bits to it (loops and an elastic net) which are black.
    which Cyclesurgery Flash?

    Bought mine from the lovely people at CS in Victoria.

    Jimmy will do anything for cake, I gather. Especially yellow cake. He’s crazy for a slice of anything yellow…

    I’m pleased so far with my 2 month old Bagaboo. Pick your own colours, design, extras for less than a most of the ‘hip’ American brands.

    but will other brands still be going strong in nearly 20 years time – I bought my timbuk2 in 94/95 (from brixton cycles) would love to get another one (in green yellow black), but despite daily commuting all year round, since I bought it) general abuse at races and being used as a climbing and swimming bag its still going very strong, nothings failed, velcro is still velcroing bag is still totally waterproof….

    Ive absolutely no reason or excuse to buy another one

    Interesting bigdawg because the times reviewer said his timbuk2 had never been waterproof nor so long ago…. But it was pretty good just not waterproof:(

    Think it was Zyro before, hence only bringing over the “cycle” courier bags and stocking in bike shops only. My other Timbuk2 stuff, including a couple of laptop bags, has come from the US, either while there or mail order.

    Now handled by Bradshaw Taylor who Timbuk2 seem happier with and they should get more distribution – Icebreaker are everywhere. They had a big stand at the Blenheim cycle festival too which was encouraging.
