I have a Brooks B17 in the same green, but unfortunately, after you've
been riding it for a while, the green starts to wear off and show the
black underneath at the wear points where your sit bones go and where
your legs rub each side. 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.

I am a fan of the green special brooks! Those levers are extra nice,

Finished!
This morning I finished detailing the Hunqapillar.

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.
