Brooks Saddle on this bike?
Can anybody picture on a honey-colored brooks saddle on this:
I'm not really sure if it would go with the lightning bolt on the seatpost...

lol... wtf?
But yeah, I'm not a fan of the black leather look... honey color looks much classier.

I've got a honey colored Brooks on my old, black Panasonic commuter. Looks awful.

The tan saddle might work better if you used Brooks leather bar tape to accentuate the saddle.

See, I was thinking either do a black steel frame (the Mercier Corvus) with the brooks, which I think would look really really nice with fenders.
But this bike has much better Ultegra parts. I can't decide!
They're both black frames, but the other is so much more conservative!:

Go honey and change the color of the bar tape and tires and you'll have one cool looking machine!

Whose opinion do you care about? The random dudes on $8000 bikes? They won't be impressed with your Windsor.
OTOH, if yours is the only opinion that matters, get the Honey from Wallingford, install it, and if you don't like it take advantage of their return policy.
Me, I'd rock the black Brooks and perform some skirt surgery on it. That's the hawtness right there.
