I am about to start recovering 2 maybe 3 saddles. I have a 36x54 piece of bright white marine vinyl coming. The first one is an SLR knock off and should be fairly straight forward. The second one is an Bianchi branded San Marco exactly like somebody posted earlier in the thread. It shaped like a Concor (which happens to be the possible number 3). My question is has anybody tried trimming the skirts off of a Concor and if so what were the results? If not, is this a bad idea?
Anybody else done this lately? Post some pictures, I love DIY stuff like this.
What would be the purpose of it? Seems to me that would rob the Concor of its sexy curves.
I have re-covered a Concor (pics way back in this thread) and it was the back end that required the most patience. The nose required some tight tucking, but that's true of most saddles. Concors do require a pretty big piece of material because of the long skirts.
