First Bicycle Seat

Recommended Posts

Here's a couple of snaps of my bike seat I've finished over Easter.

I've done a bunch of wallets and belts but this has been my most challenging project and despite any flaws I was just wrapped that it worked and I didn't rip up my seat in vain.

Special thanks to RockyWolf & ChaChi for their advice I needed a little nudge to get started. I'll have to make another cause I'm sure I could do better next time.....of course nothing ever looks as good as it could next time.

Well that's about he coolest thing I've seen in a while now. I always thought about doing one of those and taking it around to all the Bicycle shops but never got around to it. I think you've got a winner there.

I like your seat. Looks good. I was thinking of doing this too but wasn't sure how the market was for the seats. I'll keep it in mind but yours looks good.

Thanks everyone for your words. Hopefully now I've got a show piece I might open up a new market for some extra cash which would be cool since they are so fun to make. The only problem being it took ages to make so I'll probably end up charging $4 an hour. I'll be trying to sell a seat that could be more expensive than the whole bike.

Won't be quitting my day job in a hurry!!

When the rain stops I'll be out there polishing the seat with my butt in the Melbourne traffic.

Thanks guys.
