Refurbishing a saddle: can it be done, where and how much?

[RABUBI]

I want to refurbish a Specialized saddle.

 

The specific model are not being made any more, so I want to extend the life a little, as it is the best saddle ever made.

 

Any one has some contacts in Gauteng to have this done? Any idea on cost?

 

Thanks

 

R.

In Cape Town there are people who do it

Thanks, I see they are in C Town.

 

Maybe would be a good time to try it myself

Find a shoemaker. Most of the them have the tools and skills to recover. I've used the Barksole in Plumstead to recover an Arione. Its still going strong

+ 100 from me. This guy will make an artwork out of it if you want. Personally, I recommend keeping the stitching to an absolute minimum.

I had my triumph bobber seat and battery box covered by Leatherman D (Dion) in Centurion. He did a great job, perhaps worth a try.

(If velobrian is in Cape Town?)
