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

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.

I only said I was tempted to do it! Nice to see you this morning claus.

this should cover it...

Ha!

I only said I was tempted to do it! Nice to see you this morning claus.

can understand the temptation. me always wants to grab the wheel

jonny cheque's in the post, ta.

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.

Brooks saddles have short rails so tend to need layback posts. It's cos they haven't changed the design since 1904 or some shit when bikes had about a 65 degree seat tube or whatever.

Tru dat

Skully- what's the chain?

I used two chain link outer plates to bind the tabs underneath the saddle.

well done Mr Craftsman

I used two chain link outer plates to bind the tabs underneath the saddle.

I mean- who made the chain from which you took the link? Because it looks a lot like a chain I found lurking in the back of my LBS (like this one) which is now on my bike. Buying it was a bit like travelling back in time to when manufacturing was a bit more... happening in the UK.

And I guess most chain links look like most other chain links, but it just reminded me of a happy memory.

Oh sorry I see. Its off a 40/50s tourer, I think it was. Now a cool fixed townbike for a homegirl of mine.

Looks nice. Out of interest... have you chopped a B17 Narrow with any success (& pics)?

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.

done a cracking job there and can highly recommend to others to take you up on the cutting and finishing skills.

fuck it, I am gonna +1 myself

dude I would rep you myself for this, but I can't genius...
I'm pissing myself laughing as I type this, genius...

Some more of Skully's fine craftsmanship!

OOooooohhhhh!

Ever done anything like this?

That might actually be good for all the Shoreditch Seconds that are floating around London... Hmmmmm.....

Thanks for posting those Horatio.

@ Tommy: It's been something I've been wondering about. I've seen a few shots of different ways to introduce a 'fertility gap'. More ammo for RPM

@skully, can you do anything with Ray's arse??

ummm errrr. I do things with knives and wax and little bolts. What did you have in mind?

sow his arse hole close and keep feedin' him ,and feedin' him, and feedin' him..

wu tang!

Alright stop filling this thread with your witterings, there's important life-saving saddle choppin to be done here.

skully - i will be grabbing a replacement saddle for the chop-chop.
when is a good time to meet/greet/swap seat?

I'd nominate West Beers as a good place to meet. Can we have a poll?

will you be frequenting said event?
