Let Skully customise your leather saddle: Brooks, Wrights etc - trimming, tying, name embossing and de-hammocking.

A chopped and tied ''swallow'' on a Brooks Team Professional in green, this one pictured is Jonny's summer polo tournamant pressie from Brooks.

If anyone wants to get their saddle swallow-chopped, tied, or just the ends trimmed, please feel free to get in touch with your requests. I can do a bit of restoration work to saddles that need a bit of TLC, too. They look lovely without the Brooks badges.

cheers
Skullhead Wilderness.

good skullz

i saw johnny's saddle. it looks sexy as fuck and i want one.

ps: if anyone's got a black team pro they want to part with, i'm in the market.

Good work Skully - you any good with bawbags?
I've got a fair bit of loose skin that could do with a trim up.

nice!
is that a piece of chain i see tieing the saddle together?
if so, very ingenious

fantastic work skully!! that's brilliant.

Skully do your skills stretch to finding my Swift? Last seen attached to my bike outside the Roundhouse on Friday.

Dude, sorry, I aint no private dick. Bad luck on the theft.

I recommend a ball bearing in the allen hole to prevent opportunists nicking them.

But I'm starting to think they're a bit substandard saddles anyway, swifts, you're best off without that. Why do they pucker so quickly? They seem to need tieing before breaking in. Buy a Team Pro and chop it.

lovely!

the saddle or the ladies?

or Borat?

@mooks
Price on what job you want, PM me if you have a saddle you want work done on.

I would charge minimally for the time it takes me, maybe pints instead of cash, ya get me?

Put my Fizik Arione on the beater but much prefer the Swift TBH - good comfortable short journey saddle. One thing tho - I don't seem to be able to put my saddle back far enough - I'm right on the end of the rails and still it doesn't seem to sit onto my sit bones. Layback seatposts, the merits thereof: discuss.

Bike's too small for ya!

hmm...I was fitted for it and everything so would be surprised if that was the case. Maybe my arse is just wrong?

Ta. It was a Eureka moment, just before nodding off to sleep the other night. Thought it might be a nice SkullyChops signature.

Skully - I'll get you to do one for me! I really don't like using knives (this is only partially a joke), so this saves me a likely trip to the hospital.

Just have to decide which to chop - grey team pro, or black b17 narrow.

That looks great SkullyGokWon

How much for one of these?

Here's a massive pic of underneath. The chain links I am using are 'MADE IN ENGLAND' from a vintage chain. WAC!

Obviously some of you would prefer a NJS chainlink alternative. You can supply me a chain link you want to use, if you like.

this should cover it...

fuckin A skully. cheers for the ace job dude - totally chuffed with it and with the polo bike out of action at the mo am really thinking of sticking it on Monoc to give it some action.

fuck it, I am gonna +1 myself

+1

nice one skully. do you thing you can do it one of these days while padelling along holborn high? on the fly chop-job, better than pushing me over track standing.
