For Zach's subtle fade Open road bike. The saddle, frame bag and bar tape are in a dark chocolate kangaroo leather with subtle fade perforations from light olive green to cool grey. Zach went to a lot of trouble to make a template for the bag shape including a narrower piece to indicate how much the tubes recess into the bag cavity compared to the external shape of the main side panels. Theoretically the bag should fit perfectly, my fingers are crossed.
A pair of Pro Stealth saddle in black kangaroo leather with perforated detail in Baum's Burnt Orange for a pair of Baum bicycles. Matching bar tapes in matte textured cow leather.
Brandy kangaroo whip leather with Baum's Burnt Orange perforation details at the back of the seat. Pro Stealth Team saddle and matching bar tape. The whip leather will develop a rich patina with use.
For PBX's classically styled sage green Bastion. Simple whiskey coloured kangaroo leather saddle and bar tape.
For Richie's new steel Zullo bike. Fizik Argo Tempo 160 in black leather with bright yellow perforations and the Zullo logo raised through the centre back.
SMP Dynamic in black leather with silver grey grid perforations and Baum Cycles new tree logo for Signature Cycles.
Prologo Scratch M5 Nack: Two saddles for Salifu's two new Mosaic bikes. First in light olive green with the Mosaic name perforated key-line and radiating concentric perforated row all in bitter orange. Second in black leather with the Mosaic tree logo sized up and raised across the whole saddle.
Prologo Dimension Nack saddle in black kangaroo leather with burgundy perforations and bar tape to match with the same perforated pattern for Prova Cycles.
For a couple of Stanley's bikes I recovered these Selle Italia SLR Boost saddles and made matching saddle bags as well as some bar tape for his Sachs bike and a frame pump strap for the Vanilla classic. Both have subtle raised logos and perforations to compliment the frame colours.
For Alison's Prova I recovered this Selle Italia Lady Dive Gel Flow in black leather with a perforated grid of flowers which pick up the accent colour on her Rene Herse tyres.
A fresh new saddle and bar tape with a different design for Lee's Baum. The old saddle is coming back for some Busyman TLC.
A fresh saddle for Ronald's Bastion gravel bike: Flite Boost Superflow with rainbow spectrum wild cat tracks wandering around.
Sculpted in whiskey colour kangaroo leather. Rosalie brought the tired old Velo Gel Comfort saddle all the way from Berkeley California for some Busyman TLC. After visiting friends in Sydney they headed down to Melbourne and picked up the finished saddle and bar tape grips. It was a pleasure doing the work and chatting with Rosalie about art, design and creative stuff.
A two-piece saddle bag in burnished tan kangaroo leather for Scott's Speedvagen. Earlier this year I did the saddle and bar tape for the same bike.
I covered Martin's Brooks C13 Cambium in red kangaroo whip leather. The matching bar tape has very space out single black perforations which take reference from the black rivets on the saddle.
