In this video I take a very poorly Selle Italia bike saddle and show the process I use to replace the foam base pad. I will make the set pad from a sheet of closed cell foam and re-shape it to the original shape of the Selle italia flite titanium saddle.
We will also re-new the old leather covering and replace it with a new piece of 1mm leather material. Once this is completed, We will then add some fresh new decals to finish off the repair restoration.
We will do this using heat press vinyl.
Lets see if we can restore it back to its former glory......

The Selle Italia seat was first introduced in 1990 and has many different variations throughout the years.
It is now considered an iconic bicycle component and sought after for many retro & vintage bike builds.
