cfcjim Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I've had a search, without satisfactory results. Does anyone know a specialist or has had experience of recovering a saddle? I have a Prologo Scratch Pro which is incredibly comfortable, but now looks pretty scabby. I have tried a bunch of different perches but nothing comes close to the invisibility of the Prologo; i.e. when I ride I don't notice it's there. I'd like to get someone to tidy it up. Furniture/car upholsterers were mentioned in the search, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone in the Cape Town area. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Sepia Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I used a guy in Woodstock.. Velo (Velobrain??)something or other. He did several saddles for me.Good job but quite expensive R700.00 ea. You get what you pay for I guess.Good luck.

Letum911 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I am not sure as to what type of material you wish to have it covered with, at some point in time there was a saddle restoration thread (was in the time of all the SS bikes and restoration projects). A simple youtube search should put you on your way in terms of a DIY job. I covered a Selle Italia slr carbon in Denim, very easy indeed!! Some contact adhesive and a bit of patience did the trick.

Sepia Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I have several recovered Rolls saddles in various colours if you would like to make an offer?
