I just received a Campy Electra in an even-up trade with another list member for a mounted but never ridden Ti rail Brooks Swift.
The Electra has a plastic base but has a thick leather cover - much thicker than a leather covered Cinelli. The instructions say to use saddle treatment on the leather cover, but this saddle is an Oxblood red, and I'm afraid Proofhide will discolor it. Seems that Proofhide gradually turns honey Brooks' brown and brown Brooks' almost black. Can anyone recommend a treatment that won't discolor colored leather saddles? There are some recent Brooks saddles in "British Racing Green". Anyone found a good treatment for these?
