And on the pedals - instead of toe clips I'd consider spd pedals. You can get them cheap, the cleats last, and you can buy shoes with recessed cleat mounting that look and walk like street shoes. You can also buy 2 sided pedals - one side for the spd shoes, one side platform for street shoes. Think about it.
I agree on both counts. If you not expeienced in leather work like this I am sure doing a saddle will be really frustrating. My Dad was a Upholster and more importantly a
reupholster skills I dearly regret not learning from him. I am not a fan of the super small saddles but finding reasonable priced older style saddles takes some hunting.
Double sided SPD is the best way to go. You can even get the style that SPD on oneside and regular pedal on the other. Thos plastic pedals are only good for kids bikes.
