Fizik Aliante Bishop

For Sean's classic rim brake Bishop road bike. Black leather with dark purple and citrus yellow perforated detail and Bishop's logo raised at the centre back. 

Fizik Arione Bull

A fresh saddle and bar tape for Jurjen's Baum with Blue Sky detailing and a raised motif inspired by some of Picasso's bull fighting sketches. 

Vanilla Classic Fabrics

Here are two Fabric Scoop saddles with some flowery bar tape I recently completed for a couple of Speedvagen's cream and white Vanilla Classic road bikes. The flowery bar tape is a reference to the Vanilla flower logo featured on the saddles.

Orange Power: Baum Orbis

 Black leather with Orange Crush detailing for this Baum Orbis on the S-Works Power saddle and bar tape with twin row offset perforations.

Power Arc: Bear Claw Bastion

 The paint Scheme on John's Bastion was inspired by the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), painted by Velocraft with an array of colour shift paints. Responding to this I picked up on some of the paint colours behind the perforations which were in a kind of graded grid pattern. Included on the S-Works Power Arc saddle and 2-piece saddle bag are some of the motifs from the frame.

Power: Bear, Star & Mountains

With rainbow fade perforations in graded lines arranged to represent a mountain range and raised motifs borrowed from the California state flag this is Will's S-Works Power saddle with a full leather cover and a matching set of bar tape.

Power 51

For Andy, one of Signature Cycles' customers, I recovered this S-Works Power saddle with leather full cover in kangaroo whiskey colour leather, dark brown perforated seat patches and a raised FiftyOne Bikes logo at the back to tie back with his bike. Huge thanks to Signature Cycles in Connecticut and Aidan of FiftyOne Bikes in Dublin Ireland.

Power Full Cover: S-Works Whiskey

For one of Willy's S-Works bikes I took this Power saddle and recovered it in whiskey whip leather with matching bar tape. The new leatherwork covers the foam padding and the black trim edges of the entire saddle.

Curve: SQ LAB

For Richard's custom painted titanium Curve I recovered this SQ Lab 612 saddle in kangaroo whiskey whip leather, made matching bar tape and punched a whole lot of perforations in there for some of green 'Verde Hydra' to show through.

Unofficially SQ Lab x Dromarti x Busyman

I recovered this SQ Lab 60x saddle in brandy whip leather for Janeen's new No.22 gravel bike. The bike is titanium with anodised teal detailing and some of the components have a rainbow oil slick colouring. We took inspiration from the signature perforations on her Dromarti cycling shoes and the colours on the bike and arrived at this arching pattern to fit with the form of the depression through the centre of the saddle.

Holland Cycles 50 Years: Copper Patina Romin

For Bob's Holland Cycles 50th Anniversary Bike. Painted with an aged copper patina effect similar to a bronze statue after decades of exposure to the elements. Kangaroo whip leather is perforated with glimpses of both copper and patina green showing through. On one side of the saddle Holland Cycles' logo remains as negative space surrounded by concentric lines of perforations. The set is completed with a matching saddle bag and bar tape.

Sienna Alcantara: Signature Cycles: Romin Evo with Mimic

In January this year I was honoured to welcome Ruedi and Abraham from Signature Cycles to my studio in Carlton. While here Ruedi placed an order for some Busyman upholstery to finish his Bastion Cross Road bike. He selected to use Alcantara synthetic suede rather than leather. We all look forward to seeing how this material wears in with use, hoping it develops a good looking patina just like leather or natural suede.

Bar Tapes for Roy

 Late last year I made six sets of bar tape for six bikes in Roy's very impressive stable. Since then I've made another refresh set for his Baum and his Bastion (pictured) and yet another for his Festka which was sadly involved in a crash incident.

Romin Mountain Peaks: Signature Cycles

For Signature Cycles in Connecticut: Romin Evo Expert saddle with a perforated design of frosty green mountains and a matching set of bar tape for Joel's Bastion. 

Most Lynx: Bastion

For Tomy's Bastion a Most Lynx saddle with the signature Bastion perforation pattern in silver and red along with two options for bar tape.

Power Tree

 The new Baum Cycles tree logo in raised relief on this Power saddle for Daniel's new Orbis. Highlight colours are chrome orange and viper blue.

Power Shield Speedvagen

 S-Works Power saddle with matching bar tape for a Speedvagen 2022 Surprise Me paint scheme. The saddle perforation design takes reference from the Speedvagen shield logo and picks up the main colours of the frame: Berry, Hawtpink, Lavender and Army Green.

Whisky Whip Fizik Antares

For Josh's hand made custom steel Route 19 classic rim brake road bike. Kangaroo whip leather in whisky colour with perforations to match the deep green frame colour.

Sturdy Arione & Tundra

 For Richard I recently completed these two Fizik saddles in whiskey colour kangaroo whip leather with gold perforations. For a road bike and a mountain bike in titanium currently in fabrication at Sturdy Cycles in the UK. The perforated design, arranged in a concentric pattern around the Sturdy logo, highlights the gold colour that will be anodised on both frames.

Simple Acorn Power

 Back in January I had a visit from Ruedi and Abraham of Signature Cycles in Greenwich Connecticut. They brought with them a small piece of leather and a Power saddle for me to cover for one of their customers. Here it is, minimal compared to most of my work, using some acorn leather graciously provided by Carson of Leh Cycling Goods to match their acorn bar tape.
