An SQlabs saddle will go on my ECR. I have a Charge Spoon for my workout bike. Brooks Flyer on the LHT (which is not long for my stable), and a Selle Anatomica on my 29er. Oh, and a WTB cheapo on my fattie.

I've read of two different black cambiums. When they came out, I think the early ones were black over a "nude" colored rubber. The later ones were black top and bottom; the rubber was black instead of the nude color. I would be careful if you ever flip the bike over and rest the saddle on concrete, etc. That could probably cause some fraying.

Glad the die job worked; not my video, but I've read enough about it to know it works. The internet can't lie??

A little off topic, I wear zero padding with my c-17 saddle. Always loose fitting nylon sport shorts (good for everything from run, bike, swim, hike) over men's briefs or long UW. I never think about the saddle, which is the way it should be.

jonc, mine has the "nude" underside. The top has never been compromised enough for that to show through. Yes, upside down could abrade the cotton.

Thanks again for the dyeing suggestion and the link and also to BigAura for the shoe polish suggestion. I'll add that if the dye wears thin. Also thanks to john mct for pointing out the problem!
