  • I’m after a Rolls Saddle for a beater build, condition isn’t too important as long as it’s complete. Will have to be posted as well...

    Thanks!

  • I’ve got a fair few... will try to send some photos later.

  • Sure I have too

  • Got this in white.

  • I'm also looking for a ratty Rolls to practice re-covering. I will happily take one with terrible leather. North/East London ideally. I will get in line behind @smackerjack.

  • Thanks, if you could send me some pics that would be great!

  • Thanks Ted, if you could send me some pics that would be great

  • I’ve got a flite ti in knackered yellow leather that I’d love to recover- how hard is it? Any tips?

  • Not as knackered as I remember, but I’ve got these 3 and another 2 on bikes... so about time I cleared out.

  • I haven't actually attempted it yet! It doesn't look crazy difficult though. I'm trying to decide whether to remove the original leather first or to leave it on (lower risk of damaging the underlying foam).

    My tips so far from my reading are:

    • use thin leather, i.e. < 1.0 mm, eBay has offcuts. You'll need bigger than 30 x 40 cm.
    • follow a good guide (I would link one but I have lost the damn link)
    • use impact/contact adhesive and small bulldog clips
