Bill,
One produce that I know works well for leather products, especially to bring dry leather back to life, is a product called Leatherique. You might need to check the spelling. It's available on line from the producer of the product. I'm using it to bring the 57 year old leather in my Bentley back to a use-able condition, after sitting unused for about 40 years. I have a gallon of it. Recommended by the RROC and the Bentley Drivers Club.

This topic comes up now and then, but products for and myths surrounding leather preservation and restoration come and go. Are there any good references, in print or online, that members have found useful as they use and preserve cycling heritage? Any general principles that apply? Saddles, gloves, shoes, toe clip straps all are exposed to sweat, wet, dirt, and sun, and all are more or less wear & tear items like tires and chains and everything else.
Products that have served well should be currently available or have a recipe with ingredients that exist, not possess magical powers, and be reasonably priced, if possible! I'm comfortable with Chemistry, and am thinking this might be a good topic for a cycling centered article.
There's a lot online, but I'm looking for some of your wisdom and experience to share! Thank You! -- Bill Gibson Tempe, Arizona, USA _______________________________________________
