ren8gor Posted October 24, 2012 Share Does anyone know whether its possible to have saddles recovered. My beloved Sella Italia Flite finally died at the Swazi Frontier. If anyone has had some success in recovering or knows of anyone who would do this kind of work, please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerX Posted October 24, 2012 Share Long ago I raced with an ostrich farmer from Oudtshoorn who had a Flite saddle covered in brown ostrich leather. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted July 14, 2019 Share Velobrien, in Woodstock. He will not just re-cover it, he will strip off all the padding, because that is mostly worn out by the time it needs re-covering. Then he will check that the base is intact before re-building it with the right density foam, to the right thickness, shape it right, and only then cover it with real leather. He can also put any design into it if you want something unusual. The workmanship is fantastic. I do leather work myself, and I take my saddles to him. https://velobrien.com/ Edited July 14, 2019 by DJR Sepia and bikebloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
