Unicanitor Superleggera Saddle Overhaul In 20 Minutes

[Blackbike]

My new Unicanitor Superleggera saddle as it came out of the box, not to pretty. Let's do something about that!!!



Step 1. Peel off cover... Looks promising.



Cover off... Looks like I might have got a deal, there's a nice Unicanitor under that nasty cover.



Step 2. With small pieces of rag soaked in acetone I removed the remaining glue from all surfaces and this is the result... Looks new and it only weighs 215 grams :shock:



The forged aluminum wishbone rails unique to the Superleggera .



I'm quite happy with the way this turned out as the cover protected the nylon saddle for all these years



Total time to overhaul 20 minutes and striping the seat cover saved 35 grams.

I thought it looked like this.

I don't know which would smell worse.
