A bit impersonal of Cinelli but I guess it's what's inside that counts.
You did get black?
I have been waffling about buying this saddle myself - I like the perforated leather on the white but have had nothing but trouble keeping the couple white saddles I've owned clean. I would jump at the black if it was the same leather as the white but instead it appears like it has raised suede(?)...errr...pimples? I move around a lot on my saddle so that could be a problem for me.
Would like to hear your experiences with yours...
