Members Sticky Posted February 16, 2011 Members Report Posted February 16, 2011 Has anyone used the gel seat covers that are made for mountain bikes to pad solo seats? The reason for asking is if anyone has used them have they lasted. They are only £8 in tesco for a large one. Quote
Members tg lucas Posted February 16, 2011 Members Report Posted February 16, 2011 If you sew them down in place with another piece of leather and then cover they last but otherwise I have seen them squish down and split...not pretty Quote Art is not a mirror to reflect the world but a hammer to shape it.

mendedbowl Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 love that artwork and the "entire" seat! this is the first time i've noticed that you run the stem out the bottom of the pan. do you call that a select comfort seat? i like your style. ken Quote
Members Sticky Posted February 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for the replies. The bike i'm doing the seat for is a lambretta chopper/bobber so i cant do anything fancy. Have a look on google images and you'll see what i mean. Cheers Spencer Quote
