heh. I had about twenty people standing round gawping at my first attempt using them on a saddle. Skoota refused to remove the seat post, so I had a vaguely drunk gabes trying to hold it steady for me over the side of a pub bench... bah.
kattt's one I did about ten minutes later was almost perfect, no shady double stamping. honest! She hasn;t taken a pic for me yet. Looks sweet though.
I have got a really old brooks... would it work?
Would what work, sorry? Stamping, probably not very well, unless the tanning has ALL gone and its basically a suede saddle now.

Happy to try and reshape if the saddle has sagged in the price, it takes a couple of days but is well worth it.
Indeed - it does take a few days (...) but is certainly worth it.

Cheers Leon for posting that. The side profile looked like a decent line. Yep I've never seen a 'team pro' that wasn't rock hard, guess the older 'professional' ones were too. Made from cow's butt, the thickest bit on the hide.
Talking of posting, where the f did those scuffs on the nose come from? They weren't there when Royal Mail got their mitts on it.
Gr.
May you and your bike seat be truly happy together.

My saddle and butt are but a marriage made in heaven...with you as the person that made it all possible......cheers....Leon

Just picked up my chopped and stamped B17 from Growup (thanks so much for holding onto it for so long), and I must say it looks the bollocks! And cheers for the scraps Skully. Will take a pic when it's fitted.
