The Talon pack is available on the campmor website:
http://www.campmor.com/packs/eureka.external.packs.html
a similar pack is available on the rei website:
http://www.rei.com/shopping/store3/CAMPING/EXTERNAL_FRAME/EXTERNAL_FRAME/bud/624455.html
- this is the kelty tioga.. it's a bit smaller in capacity, and a little
cheaper.
Both of these websites have on-line ordering, which i have taken full
advantage of on a number of occasions. ;)
Personally tho, i find that internal frame packs have better weight
distribution and are more comfortable on my back, but YMMV.
