Newest Bike seat

[Ian]

Awesome as always, Dave. Your attention to detail blows me away - especially all the time you put into the undersides. That's real craftsmanship. A++++

[Spinner]

Your seats are truly inspiring David. Seeing them on bikes and online are what got me started thinking I wanted to do this. A couple of newbie questions if you don't mind...what style of lacing is that for the sides? Looking at the finished photo, I'm thinking the lacing not only holds the top and bottom together but also acts as a hinge/expansion joint, is that correct?

Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the nice words guys. The lacing holds the top and bottom together...no hinge action though, That basketweave lacing is as hard as a rock.... there's no flexing there.

The seats are assembled with no glue by the way

Thanks for the clarification David, so then one more question...is it stitched after the top and bottom are arranged around the pan? I guess after your comment about no glue I am wondering how you get them to sit so tight and only appearing to have 2 pieces + lacing. Sorry for all of the noob questions...

Hey Spinner,

I always tie my seats together temporarily (I tie them together in about every third hole) and cut the temp ties as I lace it together. The are only two pieces. The close fit is due to the thinner padding 1/2" to 3/4" and a pattern that fits correctly.

Thanks for answering all those questions David, appreciate it!

This took a bit longer than I thought but it is looking ok

Johann,

Thanks for taking a look at the seat. It has been a rather slow one to complete. I'm doing the dye and antique work today. Hopefully I'll post the FINAL pics very soon.

Thanks again

Dave
