Cargo Tote

I just received an order from Timbuk 2 and loved everything except the small Cargo Tote. I love the colors, aqua/sea green/aqua. It has a black handle, which is what I expected because that is what it showed in the picture. However the stitching on the handle is the color of French's yellow mustard, and it looks very strange with the aqua and green in the tote. I went back online to check and see if the tote actually showed this color stitching, but the website has been updated (I think because of new merchandise), and I can't see the tote I purchased. Does anyone know if the tote is suppose to have a black handle with this horrible yellow stitching - it is very noticable and makes the tote look like it was bought in the dollar store where they sell stuff that doesn't come out right when it is made.

What's the best way to bike with the cargo tote? I'd like to use it as a beach bag, but the shoulder strap doesn't get short enough to prevent the bag from scraping on the tires (I'm pretty short). Any ideas? Has anyone tried putting the handles over their shoulders and wearing it like a backpack?

I am hesitant to order a custom Cargo Tote online (since it's non-returnable) without first seeing one/some in real life to see actual colors and how it fits my body and my stuff. Roughly how soon will it be before there will be some in retail stores or in a Timbuk2 store? Thanks.

How long will it take for me to receive my order; if i special order a either the biggest messenger bag or the largest tote? I leave on my European Vacation in two weeks.... please help.

When will new colors come out for the BYO tote? I love the pinks and purples you have for the messenger bags but the options for the totes aren't as great. Help!!

I'd like to know which Timbuk 2 products will best accommodate a 17" Macbook Pro. I'd appreciate suggestions beyond the laptop messengers, although that will be appreciated as well. If any cargo totes, ballistic messengers,etc. will fit I'd love to know so I can weigh in on all options.

I had used a medium messenger with a sleeve for a 12"powerbook before and loved it.

Hi - I'm trying to figure out what size my Timbuk2 tote is. I bought it in 2006 from a store called Changes in Latitude in Boulder, CO. It has seen A LOT of use and is currently soaking in a lovely coating of Shout gel in the hopes of getting the dirt out.

Anyway - I want to buy another tote, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what size my bag is. Maybe it doesn't exist any more? When I flip the bag over and measure the bottom of it from seam to seam is 14". With the bag sitting up and measuring from the floor to the black piping (so to the top not including the bit that lays down when it's zipped up) is 10". Not anywhere close to 11". When I measure the side at the bottom of the bag from seam to seam that measures 4". I'd estimate that when I measure the length of the bag at the top of the bag rather than the bottom, it's about 18".

Naturally my first inclination was a medium - 14" wide - ok, that's what mine measures at the bottom, 10.8" high - ok, mine is an inch shorter than that, but it's two years old, maybe it's squished or the measurements have changed; 7" depth - maybe this is the same as what I'm calling the side? Mine is 4" from seam to seam on the side piece at the base but maybe part of the large panels count too . . . or you're measuring at the top. Top of bag width 17.75" - ok, mine is about 18", so good.

What really threw me was the little picture for the "build your own bag." It shows the side measurement/depth/whatever as being 2.6" and there is definitely nothing on my bag that is that small. It also shows the bottom as being 18.9 inches and mine is only 14" at the bottom and 18" at the top, so that's weird.

Help help.

Thank you,

Do you have the cargo (large) in the herringbone fabric? If not, I think it would look very smart. Not only men appreciate menswear-inspired fabrics! Also, would love to see the herringbone in different colors: e.g. charcoal gray, navy blue, khaki.

I have a small cargo tote and would like to put a cross strap on it like on my messenger bag... can this be done?

I love the build your own cargo tote option- but the colors are just not my style! When will new colors be available in the build your own? I'd love to buy ASAP (I'm not very patient).

I recently bought the small cargo tote in silver with the middle being in lavendar. Is there a way to see if you have ever done this color combination but instead of having lavendar in the middle, you had pink? I thought I saw one at REI, but can't seem to find it. Perhaps it was an 07 closeout. Is there a way to find out if that color combination was ever made for this particular style and size??

From the picture of the interior of the cargo tote there looks to be some 'pockets' across from the organisational panel. Its not listed in the features panel(or is it the Internal organizer pockets), so I'm wondering if its just a shadow or if its really there.
