BTW, while checking out the link, I navigated the Brooks site a bit. The $409 messenger bag is for those on a budget. If you're really cool you can step up the all leather version of this bag at $1,055.

I also note they have a new pannier model (not the rollup) and a handlebars bag to be available in early 2010. Recommended price in both cases is about twice that of the corresponding Berthoud bag.

So, how long does the typical bicycle messenger have to work to earn enough to buy a $1,055 messenger bag?
