Powder Keg:
Here is a original seat. There is a "bulls-eye" stamp tooled around the edge of the leather. I'm going to make a custom stamp so my seat will look a little more authentic.

You cant buy one like it.

Powder Keg:
Here is the seat I cut out.

I didn't have a tool to cut the little line around the edge. So I went to the local saddle shop. The guy there was really nice. He cut the line for me.

I thought I might want a tan colored seat and he cut out one of those for me also. He needed a little dapping block made to help him round his rivets. I made him one of those and we traded\o/

Now I have a choice as to what color I want:o)

Fun, fun, fun.....

~Wes~

andyf:
Nice trade, Wes.

I think the darker one would tone better with the tweed outfit and deerstalker hat, when you get them. Let's face it, you are going to arouse some curiosity as you pedal around, so you may as well go the whole hog. Then, you will only need one answer to the inevitable questions:
"I'm just here testing out my time machine"

Seriously though, it's a great project and I'm really looking forward to seeing your 1 and 1/4d finished and in action.

Powder Keg:
The springs for my seat arrived today. I'll get a picture posted in a bit. I also have the tires ordered. I wanted them here so I could measure for the front forks. That and the ride will be smoother:o)

I need to get back on those nipples. I'm taking it easy with the wife today though.

Later,

~Wes~

I dunno... Sometimes I think you do it on purpose?
