By the way I'm planning to freshen up the saddle. Does anybody know if wiping it with clean spirit and then re-proof it with Brooks Proofide would be a good idea? I guess Proofide will do no harm, not sure about clean spirit though. Don't want to ruin the colour..
Any thoughts guys?

Just a little mild detergent to remove dirt , dry then proofride is what I do...I believe any strong degreaser or detergent zaps the leather's natural oils. Not sure if this is correct process, but my rolls and brooks are kept in good shape.

It looks nice black, but you're right, the one from catalogue looks mega rad!
Not the fan of Ambrosio cranks though..
