Thanks,
Hmm. That's gonna be difficult. You should check into it, a lot of saddles aren't leather, they are vinyl or some other 'leather look' material. But you'll have to look around...

In fact, most of the Specialized saddles aren't leather according to their site (http://www.specialized.com). The Toupe has what they call a "Tough, light and water resistant Micromatrix cover", so does the Alias.

I have a black Toupe but I'm somewhat reluctant to part with it - however, you can look on the Specialized site at what they cost new, then make me an offer (PM me, don't post in thread) and I'll consider it. The Toupe has maybe 200 miles on it but looks immaculate, brand new. It is the 143mm wide version (look at their site and you'll understand.

I also have a black Alias which is REALLY new, less than 40 miles on it. It is the 155mm width I believe.

The Alias, at least, is available for trades as well....
