While true...
1) Yes, it is fun and satisfying.
2) New cheap $10 saddles are usually not period looking, comfortable, or durable.
3) Most C&Vers have a reduce/reuse/recycle mentality, just because a cover is torn or worn doesn't mean the saddle is done...call it "saddle maintenance".
4) In my case I wanted to keep the bike as original as possible, try to find a NOS Fujita saddle, much less a "Compy Boy".
Carry on.
