^^^ Good point that. I carry an allen wrench with me every where to loosen and drop the bars to get my bike into the car.

I was starting to have doubts about my saddle choice as I could not find anyone to reupholster it. After 2 shops denying my service I finally found someone that would do it for $75.00. I would have let him do the job but he seemed very reluctant to take on the task making me doubt his services. So instead, I decided I was going to do it myself. I searched around for some possible materials to use when I finally decided to use a two layer cotton rag that looked like plain old white t-shirt material, craft foam for minimalistic padding and some Shellac to finish it off. This is what I came up with:













After adding several layers of Shellac I decided that I wanted the seat to be a bit darker so I painted it black, sanded it down a bit and applied more Shellac.
Rivets were added as a finishing touch.

Thanks guys.
I forgot to mention that the triangular emboss on the seat is a triangular piece of craft foam.

Very clever on the seat fabrication! It really looks like old leather. It is so much fun to see the talent displayed on this web site!

This bike is so cool! But my two cents is to maybe change the handle bar grips.

[ratina]

Sweet job on the seat.

I agree some vintage grips would really complete the bike

Fork and tank finally painted.
Kinda strayed away from the plan of black.

[Markm]

Hmmm... cherry...
Since I'm not going to put a motor on her any time soon I think a name change is in order...
I think from now on she will be known as "CherryLiner"

She's done for now but it's raining out so I can't take any pics just yet.
