First purchase from the bay arrived today, a pretty moderate condition Turbo saddle only paid £15 so not too bad going.
First thing to clean was the slightly rusted rails, but a scrub with some tinfoil left them looking like new. There was some peeling at the front that I used a little superglue on to keep it down, and a slight tear on the left side of the nose that I filled with some shoe goo and squeezed down so all is looking good now.
I do have one question for anyone that has restored old saddles though, towards the back is the usual scuff from years of use and whatnot, that see to have been given the shoe polish treatment, is there anything else I can do to make it look a little less scuffed and for that matter to just give the whole saddle a little love?
