ripping the old leather and pad off, file the thicker parts of the plastic base form and shorten it, renew with nappa leather. You won't believe how long it took to get a good shape and loose enough material. Besides the weight loss (250g to 179g) Smolik claims the ride comfort gets much better as the saddle flexes a bit more like a brooks leather saddle. We'll have to see.
