My Citizen bag was in severe need of repair. Sadly, storefront shops ceded to exist here in NYC. The Berlin is a definite upgrade and, much bigger than i expected it to be. I actually no longer ride because of an excess of cyclists in this NYC prefer to rent and share - which just makes things more hostile than it used to be (on top of powered bicycles).

All things said, this bag is much bigger than i thought. A total upgrade to my Citizen in terms of capacity and shoulder support. Makes me want to get back on my bike again without having to be concerned about weight distribution according to distance or fatigue.

As always, i am stunned by the quality of Chrome messenger bags and look forward to seeing how the Berlin breaks in over time. Basically, you could fit three whole chickens in the bag with room for other things, and (2) U-Locks.
