I have a speedy b that I owned for a couple of years now. However, the D-Rings (for attaching the strap) and zippers have tarnished really badly. I also want to point out that these particular pieces hardware have already started tarnishing really bad just from the first month of use. So I can say that the hardware still looks the same as it did 2-3 years ago, but it is still awfully tarnished. I don't know why but taking it to the store never crossed my mind ever since. I'm planning on taking it to the store to get both the d-rings and zippers replaced, and some say that it would be free of charge because they're only metal parts. I'm quite hesitant that they might not accept it for repair just because it's normal wear and tear when in fact this damage has already been present ever since I used this bag when it was still fairly new.
