Pros: Quality construction and workmanship, deep cavity that will hold all your stuff, a true messenger bag, great customer service, a plethora of design and styles to choose from.
Cons: This particular model did not come with a laptop compartment but others from Timbuk2 do. Not a ton of pockets.
Verdict: A quality messenger bag that will last a long time. The interior lining will provide some weather proofing for your gear. Timbuk2 makes true messenger bags that will suit the hard core bike messenger as well as the person who simply wants a stylish bag to transport their gear.

One caveat that was a big disappointment to me…the 2way pouch from Timbuk2 (the small size) does not fit an iPhone. I believe they sell a medium size, but it’s not really easy to find when building a custom bag. I’m selling my 2way on ebay. Just thought I’d let that be known.
It looks like your in SF =p
