I have a favourite saddle, that sadly reached its end of life as the leather wore thin and became 'critical'. We've enjoyed fair weather and foul. Negotiated climb and descent. Travelled far and wide. A faithful friend to the end, I was reluctant to wish this one a final 'bon voyage', but what to do? My initial thoughts were to seek emergency aid. Could someone online simply re-cover it from the dead? I found the websites of three dedicated practitioners, but making contact revealed one 'no longer practicing' (business kaput), one 'now retired' and one 'willing to give it a go' but 'ouch, I've only ever attempted one of those before, and it was a pig of a job, (sharp intake of breath), and it'll cost well over £100, and no guarantees it will be any good'. So here's the 2003 Selle Italia SLK Carbonio, stripped and looking worse for wear!
