There are some positive reviews on other sites on Chrome bags - believe them.
I have the the mini metro, their smallest. I would recommend getting the smallest you need, b/c the bigger your bag, the more junk you will tote around. If you have the need though, Chrome can feed it - the larger bags are HUGE. Like two 12 packs of beer huge.
I am constantly tightening and loosening the straps to fine tune the fit while riding, and if you're a fidgeter like I am, you'll love the ease of adjustment. I'm not a messenger, but I'd imagine that this feature is a plus when loading and unloading deliveries w/out taking the bag off.
It is a very comfortable bag - in mine I can pack a lenovo T60, power adaptor, work clothes (w/o shoes usually), and some spare bike clothes for changing conditions. On cold mornings I'll ride in wearing bike shorts and rainpants underneath and can pack cycling tights and a pair of shorts for the warmer ride home. Anything more than that, and you're probably carring too much. This bag may seem to fill up fast, but then expands up rather than out, because the flap only needs to barely touch the velcro on the main body to hold the bag shut and the contents in.
