what happened to the single speed line? i loved it.
i bought the smaller bag in the single speed line, the toe clip last fall, and love it as an everyday bag. i noticed that it's disappeared from the timbuk2 store. i assume it's discontinued. any idea if there is any older stock that i can buy?
I’m sad

Inappropriate?The Single Speed collection is discontinued, but the good news is that means you can find the bags online at great closeout prices! I just googled Timbuk2 Single Speed and found a bunch of bags, a couple of which I linked below.

As for why it's gone, I'm with you, I don't get it. My husband and I fight over the Toe Clip I bought for myself, it's such a great bag!
Hopefully our PD team will weigh in here and apologize or defend their actions. ;-)
I’m taunting PD--whatcha got to say guys?

Inappropriate?I love it too, especially the leather straps, and I get lots of compliments on mine. I'm curious about why it was discontinued
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Is there any chance this line will be brought back?
It seems really strange that such a popular line would be discontinued. Especially in that it filled a niche that most other companies do not.
Not to take anything away from TB2, but bags akin to the classic messenger are easily found elsewhere; yet these type of bags seem to make up a large portion of the TB2 line.
The Single Speed line, on the other hand, is quite original, and as far as I know there's no one else out there making anything similar.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Check out duluth pack. They are a bit differant but have the same style. Also they are handmade in the USA.

Inappropriate?@alvin
Unfortunately I'm looking for the large or medium messenger version of the SS series. It seems eBay has plenty of Toe Clips, and occasionally a Slant, or a Relay (which I already own and love). Some sellers are even claiming their bag to be a "large" messenger, but when you look further, it's a Toe Clip. (I actually bought one of these but luckily realized my mistake before the seller shipped the item).
These are all on the smaller end of the SS series. I just need something a little bit bigger :) -

If you look at the details of the auction, that one's a Toe Clip as well. :(
I wish someone from TB2 would reply and at least give us some sort of idea why this bag was discontinued. Did it not sell well? Because most people that I encounter are more impressed with the Single Speed bag I have than the typical TB2 classic bags (which are readily available). There's gotta be a reason, it's such a unique bag I can't imagine they wouldn't want to corner the market on this niche. -

Inappropriate?Alvin, you keep posting links to Toe Clip auctions, of which there are plenty. If you read my previous two posts (both replies to auctions you posted), you'll see that I've said this already.

Inappropriate?I have a brand new single speed laptop messenger bag with the tags still on it if you're interested... -
Inappropriate?Can one still find these bags on Ebay? I tried, but with no luck.
-
Inappropriate?Oh, by the way, Matt b, do you still have one?
-
Inappropriate?bkkm, which model are you looking for? -
Inappropriate?bkkm... sold it about a month ago to a guy in germany. Put it up on craigslist and probably got 3 replies from people in europe... it must be popular over there!

Inappropriate?Thanks for the reply, matt. Roo: I'm looking for a model/size similar to the Courier one: http://www.yopi.de/image/prod_pics/14... . Do you know where I could find it?
-
Inappropriate?Ah. I have a new Toe Clip one http://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-Single-... and a *barely* used vertical one (the Relay?) like this one http://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-Laptop-...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1243346488&sr=8-2 but not the padded laptop version if you'd be interested in one of those.

Inappropriate?Hey Roo, what color is the Toe Clip you have? Would you happen to have some pictures of it (of the inside of it also) ? I might be interested in it. Thanks!
