Stripped saddle - SLR/Selle?

Oh, fashion. Meh

No you nonce, the SLR is as comfy peeled as it is covered, the carbon made top, on itself, it's enough. Aesthetically i prefer it stripped, but ultimately it's more practical not having a wet saddle.

eBay?

nope, off here

what he said*

*except the nonce bit :)

I'll have to keep an eye out...

i just stripped mine but there is a little round bit of plastic protruding from the middle of the saddle. sanding it would be a bit messy. im thinking drill it out?

take a stanley blade to it, and just slide the top off

nice one. just shaved it down slowly with a pen knife. job done.

hopefully it wont tear my shorts appart in the morning

it's worth scapping a blade around all the edges too.

will do. thanks

Has anyone successfully stripped and painted an SLR? Or stripped and recovered with fresh leather?

I've re-covered a turbo, nex to to Arnold Circus, Shoreditch.
There's this shop, really tiny, a guy that does sofas and big chairs, he's the one to talk to.

Awesome, thanks nuknow, will check him out.

Anyone stripped an SLR Flow saddle? does it still work out ok with the space in the middle, I see no reason it shouldn't but just wondering if anyone else has done it and has pics?

knacker slicer ?

Ouch.

Bit the bullet, Ti Gel Flow SLR, not going to strip it yet though, don't fancy disassembling a new saddle. When it gets ratty it's off though.

I'm testing a Gel Flow on the TT bike. I'm not sure I like it any more or less than a normal SLR.

I used to have one of these. I haven't noticed any difference compared to San Marco Rever I own at the moment. I wish I stripped it instead of selling for a quarter of the original price.

The guys at Druid cycles SE1 do this with bike saddles. They've got some dapper new leather patterned bits with asymetric strips of different colored leather. Another option.

I was also wondering this, anyone dared to risk it yet?

It's fine. Rides a little harder but 30mi on it today and no issue. Just a bit more jaring when spinning or hit an unexpected bump.

Time to revive an old thread.

Did some stripping over christmas - the saddle kind.

Got a 2002 Flite Titanium. Claimed weight, 235gr - Actual weight 235gr. So far, so good!
Here is a table with saddle weight information:

A little bit of heat gun action and it peels like an orange:

Back on the scales:

A massive saving of 67gr...

A bit of light sanding to smooth it, a tactical sticker so no one nicks it, a bit of lacquer and we're good to go:

^Vince, that is effing jeffing sweet!

Damn freaking gorgeous!
