Right, bit of a weird one this. I am trying to find a manufacturer of a black, yellow and white saddle that will match the colour scheme on my Scott CR1, the standard Syncros scott saddle i have weights about the same as one of my legs so i would like a lighter saddle that matches the bike colours. So anyone got any ideas? My favourite saddle is a spesh Toupe 143, are there any companies that can recover one of these in my chosen colour scheme or am i going to have to stick with a boring all black unit?

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Russ.

    If all else fails, the Toupe is also available in white...

    This fella will do you what ever you want. He's a real artist.

    However, a few drawbacks. He's in Oz and is expensive!

    To white for me, ideally I would buy something off the shelf in some matching colours. I suspect unless someone else has any ideas UK based I guess it will have to be a black toupe.

    People send Busyman saddles from all over the world - he's done quite a few saddles from UK customers

    There are any number of vehicle upholsterers who could do something to your specification, but the leather may be thicker than you need for a bike saddle since weight seems to be a concern. Won't know without asking them.
