Design Auction

The Interior Design students have had to change the venue for their fundraiser auction tomorrow night. Details on the poster above. Anyone welcome, especially those keen to bid for stuff. One of my saddles up for grabs, see previous post.

Fundraiser Auction

I've donated one of my saddles to the Interior Design students at RMIT University for their fundraiser auction night. They're raising funds for their end of year exhibition. All sorts of designed/crafted things up for grabs on Thursday September 30. See poster for details.

Red Hot

SMP recover for Tri, this would be his 5th Busyman recover. Subtle diagonal perforation bands, colour to match the frame. I still love doing these saddles.

Looney

Looney! What more can I say?

Craig's

I think it's now official, the SMP Composit saddle is the model I've recovered the most of. It's also the most difficult of saddles to recover because of it's unusual 'bifurcated' design. Strangely I get a kick out of the challenge though and I love the fact that the rails are removable. This one is just completed for Craig of Wagga Wagga to match back with his Cervelo. It's a new design/pattern with the black splice through the middle and the grey coloured perforations to keep with the bike's colour scheme.

There haven't been many posts lately even though there have been several saddles. The reason? I wasn't happy with the photos. My usual photographer (Feride) has been too busy with her new project, the MAIIKEstore.

For the Bondi Cobler

Of course I cannot remember his name, but this collection was made for a shoe maker based in Bondi. Made to adorn a build by Saint Cloud of Gertrude Street.

For Helix

Recently completed for Bikepro Shop, they're puting together a bike for review in Ride Magazine. Fizik Arione and some stitched bar tape. Managed to get some form of RSI from all the hole punching on these. But I'm still resisting the laser cutter.

Jolly Roger Robot

Concor saddle with a robot jolly roger, unfortunately photos were rushed and not too clear because I had to get it in the post. Poor Simon had been waiting about two months for me to get his saddle done.

Super Frock

Frock by me.

Sinister Scales

This is what it's going on.

John's Ostrich legs sinister black scaley reptilian SMP. Finished!

Reptilian

Some progress photos of this saddle I just finished last night for John. This is certainly the most exotic leather I've used (Ostrich legs). A challenging project given the unique qualities of the leather. It took one skin for each side of the saddle, one was perfect and the other was thicker and less maleable. I love the outcome even though it's kind of evil looking, patent black reptilian. Images of the finished saddle coming soon.

The Duke

For Leigh, his grandfather and his boy...

Classic Aliante

A simple recover for Fitz to match his leather (Brooks?) bar tape. I'm very curious to see the build when it's complete.

Shark

Dave's Specialized Toupe recover in silver grey calf skin. Conditioned and waxed for a smoother finish.

Twin: SMPs

One's just a little bit fatter than the other. The skinny one's much more sporty. I hope you like your new babys Steve.

Pure White

Pure, white, simple, minimal, difficult! In progress coming soon.
