Why not use honey Brooks bar tape? Mine is wearing to the same color
as my honey Brooks Saddle. Now my Brooks tool bag is still honey and
my bars and saddle are now almost dark brown. All three have just
under three years and loads of miles.

Heaviness varies with the cold. Have a couple pair of "heavy duty"

Honey Brooks will darken with use and treatment. Takes time...

It looks like it would be fairly easy to sew in new straps that were
longer. In fact the way the bag is constructed you could do a number
of handle / strap mods. I could see the cotton webbing straps that

Here in New England, I like any leather shoe with waterproof gunk on
it, and wool socks (smartwool is good)
Ha! You're absolutely right!

Kip,
I would certainly be in for a ride next summer! My family has a cabin

great for riding with some unbelievable views and trails. I am sure I
could round up a few others to get involved. Certainly drop a line or

I've used Hydrophane Darkening Oil on both my Brooks saddles and had
great results. I've used it on our Saddleback Leather bags as well. It

shops. I've also used O
The saddle will certainly darken over time, and will darken somewhat
with an application of Proofide. However if you treat the saddle with
Obenaufs saddle treatment it will darken considerably more. Weather
and use are factors too, but the treatments will alter it initially.

talking about the bike in the 1994 catalogue that had drop bars. That

else besides that catalogue.
You folks have fun. Wish I could be there.

I'm still planning to be at the Toll Plaza at 0900 hours. We are still on the
road. We are in Williams, AZ now, heading west. Lacking a catastrophe, I'll

haven't ridden in nearly two weeks. I need this ride!

The tote is the first sackville bag the I like, the rest look clunky
