It's true that the dark green finish wears through eventually, but unlike the other Brooks colors, the green is so dark that it (to me at least) just looks like well-earned and attractive beausage; the difference between the black and the very dark green is not jarring..

Same with a couple of grey Brooks that I have on other bikes - the black is starting to show through. The only Brooks saddles I've owned that retain their original colour with long use are in either honey, brown, or black. The other colours seem to be a finish applied on top of a black saddle.

This morning I finished detailing the Hunqapillar. http://tinyurl.com/dyoaomp Changes made after riding it for a week: - Changed to a 13cm stem. - Changed brake levers to Paul's polished reverse brake levers. They work much better than the Tektros and don't have that squishy feeling. - Changed to a green Brooks B17 I had lying around, and used Brooks green leather tape. This bike has an amazing ride, especially with some weight on the front panniers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
