Wonder if it would make sense to go to a top-flite shoe repair business and have them sew some reinforcement strips of leather onto the underside of the saddle?
Anyone ever tried that?
Of course if that fails I could turn it into a Velo Object d' Art!
I would think, if the leather is degraded enough to tear, once patched it would tear soon elsewhere. Have rhm teach you the secrets of saddle leather replacement.
