tish tosh and flollops where's the saddle thread?

Post by snapdragon »

I need to get the peggyso's seat rebuilt and covered (more practical for riding through floods than Rappy)
Can't find the thread where someone recommends a seat building/covering company!!
anyone have any recommends?
nearer to south central engerland would be good and save me postage if possible

aye fang euuu

Google Tony Archer.
He's local to me, and highly recommended from an awful lot of people up and down the country.. I know he'd be a bit far, but he's probably the best going.
Carnivore had an RD seat, and his raptor seat done. He had a gel insert put in for France trip with the Rap. I've seen a gorgeous SV seat with lovely piping and custom stitching to be made to look like a posh Corbin.

Very reasonable prices too.

Your Rapter looks like a sci fi robot dragon! and it breaths fire too! It singed my eye brows and boiled my eyes at the lights! smudge

Ahhh thanks Dizz

there he is, :nod:

I'm still not certain I can't recover the seat myself, but having seen 'tools required' I'm one missing - and I can't work out why a hairdryer is required anyhow !! :?

Cool beans :happyhappy:

As for the hairdryer....I would imagine, and don't laff too loud...........

In heating up your covering, it would make it more plyable, thus making it easier to mould over your seat and all its gubbins.....and tightly, because when its gone cold it will shrink, not slack like an old pair of knickers :blink:

Hi Snappy. Try south west auto trimming at Calne.
If everything seems in controll your not going fast enough.
