I used the chrome bag for about 6 months, but it's been sitting in my closet for about equally as long. It's a bit dirty (I've never tried cleaning it; I'm sure something could be done) It's the "Metropolis" size. $75 would make me happy.
The track bike is just one of those cheap japanese things. 51cm. It's really not much of a bike, it's just been my back-up for when I have a flat. However, it does have a brand new Andel crankset. I think I've ridden it, max, 10 miles with the new crankset, chain & bar tape. The headset is a bit wobbly right now, I think it just needs to be taken apart and put back together tightly. $150 would be a great deal (the cranks were $110 new). The paint job is nothing special. House done with Montana spray paint :P The wheels are true, but they're from my first track bike, a 1997 Bianchi Pista. The axles are fucked, as I was under the impression that tighter was better, when it came to the 15mm lugs. Now you need to hold the axle with pliers while you tighten the them. Just being honest here, but I still think it's a good deal if anyone wants it.

Cleaning your Cordura bag: Wear it in the shower, scrub it on the outside with the lufah and Bronner's, rinse, repeat until you didn't miss a spot, and hang dry (don't stick it in the dryer.)

Is there anything Bronner's CANT do? That shit is amazing. I've concluded that the only cleaning implements I need in my home are
1)Dr. Bronner's
2)Miracle Red
3)Vinegar.

Seconded on the Bronner's. It's the only thing I take touring. Supposedly it'll even work as a toothpaste, but I've yet to try that.

I like simple green. It cleans everything, and doubles as a pretty tasty sports drink*.

I've brushed with it. Minty, soapy and better than nothing.
