I love the look of leather, but I also like to leave my bikes out in the rain and not have to do maintenance on the saddle, so the Charge Spoon with Salsa cork tape gets me a happy compromise.
Great looking ride! Love the color. What drive train did you choose? Are those v-brakes? I have a stock '11 LHT, and the only thing I'd change is the canti brakes with their front cable hanger mounted on the headset.
