So, I have this idea. There has been much discussion about the possibility of bringing back the Smart Alec. I personally think this would be smart - it is my favorite Bihn bag. However, I wondered if it was just a small number of people that thought that. Well, tonight I watched an eBay auction for a used black halycon Smart Alec climb past $340. (The final total was $341 - I dropped out of the bidding WELL before that.) If a used bag draws that kind of attention maybe it is time to Tom Bihn to bring it back. Maybe as a Guide's Edition. Think about it. All of the people that never got one would want it and all of the Smart Alec fanatics would need it too because it would be a limited edition. I think this is a no brainer.
I will keep searching for a black halycon version for myself (if anyone sees one let me know!!!) - but also keep hoping that my idea takes root at headquarters!
