Hi guys.

Thanks to all of you who posted. Some really great info is found within this thread.

Truth be told, I hadn't actually purchased the saddle but I was going to purchase the Vans saddle above and try to emulate the treatment as shown in the original image. But, this thread has changed my mind. I love the pattern but hearing that it's not really feasible has me going a different direction. A much less expensive one since that saddle is $220.

Thanks again for saving me the cost and the attempts that likely would have been futile.
