I'm glad you posted this. I just got a cheap huffy with cool vinyl wraps that fade from light blue out to white. I thought of this post and decided it was the perfect practice bike. The current saddle is black, but a white one would bring this bike back into the time of Crocket & Tubs thus making it nothing less than a 'Totally-Awesome' Huffy. I got the adhesive, and I went to the fabric store and bought a yard of marine white vinyl which is suitable for boat seat covers. What I didn't realize was just how much a yard would be, I was thinking 1-square yard. In any case my new-to-me blue Schwinn Traveler is crying out for white wraps and a white saddle. I picked up some rubber cement and hopefully I'll have a chance Saturday to see what trouble I can get into with all of this. Quick question for you about the seat. I'm planning on using some pretty craptacular seats that I've had laying around, do you know if any felt will work? like craft felt that I already have laying around, or does it have to be special felt?
