In this video I’m going to provide a number of tips for restoring old bicycle saddles. This restoration project was a first for me. And as always when doing something for the first time, you’re bound to learn something you wished you knew before you started. But that’s just the way you learn.
Any ordinary person would definitely say that the saddle I restored, wasn’t worth the effort. But it’s not always about the money or resources involved, it’s about the journey and what you take out of it along the way. And I definitely got my money’s worth with this saddle restoration project.
The saddle is a ’91 Cycle Tech, which appears to be somewhat of a budget brand and a wholesale retailer for Europe in cycling parts. But the brand name is so generic I couldn’t find a specific website.
But I liked the shape of the saddle, the fact that it was very old, and the fact that it was in such a bad shape that restoring it to its former glory would be a personal victory from a bicycle restoration perspective. And I would be doing it with a new leather seat cover instead of the plastic one.
