Jim,
Not as well as your Moonlander with wide, supple tires. Hopefully we can
all agree 4.5 inch tires qualify as wide.

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
