Nice bike, Zen! I have the 09. Is that brooks saddle naturally that way, or is it a honey colored that has been darkened with Neatsfoot oil (on top)?? With my Aurora I want the standard color but my other bike would like one in darker brown.

OK, let me set this straight once again.
The bike in the photo is not mine.
The bike in the photo belongs to Elk.
I also have an Aurora but at that time had not yet taken a proper photo.
It appears to me that Elk's saddle is a honey Brooks.
I put a black one on mine but only because I got a deal on it. I probably would have like honey but when I'm sitting on it no one can see it anyway2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

Okay. Same questions for "elk" then.

I'm pretty sure Elk had gotten a brown Brooks for her Aurora, not honey.
