Bought this tatty Flite off ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Selle-italia- ... true&rt=nc
When i got it it wasn't too bad, wear on the nose and both sides and the rear had a tear and wear.
Seemed too good to re cover and i had come across some leather filler recommended by enc on another thread so decided to order some and give it a go.

I used their instructions on line and filled in the tear pretty well.
I also ordered some of their colourant/dye for the worn patches:

Again i followed the instructions online but it's pretty simple, just sponge it on after sanding the whole saddle surface with 1200 grade sandpaper.
It took about 8 coats but when finished and left for 24 hours i'm pretty impressed with the results
And it is also waterproof!
What do you think?
