The seat come out beautiful ! Really enjoyed recovering it. I did have some help with fitting the leather to the pan. It helps when you have someone with 25 years of experience recovering furniture.

I needed to see this , I have to do the same thing , but have been putting it off . Fear factor . Your pics have gave me a little
more confidence . Your seat came out very nice . Do you want to do mine next . :blackeye:

I'd say yes on recovering your seat, but after redoing several of these old saddles. I understand why upholsterers charge so much, it's exceedingly time-consuming work. That doesn't always work out, I was a little bit short on one of the lips of the seat. Will see how it holds up hopefully I won't have to redo it.
 
Perfect! Looks like it's already broken in like a baseball glove!

The leather I used is really nice raw leather, that's very lightly dyed Brown. So it's scuffs and scratches pretty easily. Which I don't mind I like the old baseball glove look.

I completely switch up the bars grips and stem, keeping my bell on.

Love the Scribble resto-tina treatment. Perfect way to do up an old bike. I was cracking up when I saw you cleaning the whitewalls because there is a thread where somebody was trying to stain his. You could have sold him your dirt off yours...:21:

Great job. Another nicely done classic....:thumbsup:
 
Another classic and classy Scribble build!

Looks good!

Thanks guys !

Nice! The recovered saddle blends in with the rest of the weathered bike. That's not always easy to do!

Thanks ! I'm really happy with how it came out.
