Here another repair. This is not meant to be a long term fix as I know it will fail. But when I pulled the B17n off the bike I needed a saddle to put back on (it was this or a white ladies saddle). The best choice was this torn and retired Professional.

So so I took out a rivet and glued three layers of cloth on the underside with Barge cement. I hope it lasts a few rides anyway. Did not even bother to fill the rip because the leather is dicey there and did not want to have it pull more out.

For everyone’s amusement only.

The saddle was extremely comfortable. Previous owner probably stored it

inside a garage but in the sun. Was very dry.

Could be be a candidate for a recovering in the future?! I love the chrome rails.
