Wow! Always fancied doing a stars 'n' stripes spray job using star stickers for masking . . . one day

Re:

OK so my wrist RSI has reared it's ugly head so off the bike for a week and light garage duties only, so inspired by Susie on "The Repair Shop" decided I would restore the saddle myself..so before it looked like this (after a damn good clean)

The stars looked a little grey and the white was wearing away at the edges of the saddle. So bought some white leather touch up paint and these are the results thus far

May need a few more coats before I'm happy (it goes on really thin) and some sort of leather protector.

Nice work as usual....
BTW, if you decide to not use that saddle, I’d find a good home for it on our Jimmy’s Concorde Astore....

You'd be second in the queue as I have already had approaches....it's kind of gaudy but I like it

That seat is cool as FReAK!

Ah god, there's a company I've used that sells lots of leather restoring stuff. Binding agents, paints in all colours, cleaners and nourishing creams etc.
They're up Newcastle way, I'm sure. Can't get the name in my head. Their stuff would be ideal for saddle work on this 'ere site.

Sorry Boxxer, these are definately staying with me, don't know if I'll ever open them, but make me smile everytime I look at them

Re:

Suitable USA Brake cables and outers sourced from Germany

Just got to find equivalent gear cables now. Later Sram Gore Ride On cables are relatively easy to come by but not so the earlier one's to match the Brake Cables. Any leads would be gratefully received
