Selle SMP Stitching

Love my Stratos but hate the way the logos dominate both sides of the saddle. Anyone ever remove the stitching?

Does it rub you or your bibs the wrong way? If not, considering how kinda goofy the saddle looks anyway..just sit on it.

Not a huge deal but I picked one up used just to try and its a perfect fit. I've been thinking about it for a little while and I wanted to see if anyone else has done it.

He does awesome work but cost prohibitive for just a black saddle. I just picked up a new one from Biketiresdirect for $179.99. Better than Ebay prices... but still expensive. When the new one comes in I'll try an cut the stitching on the used one and see how it goes.

Is the stitching white? Just color it black with a Sharpie!

Not a bad idea. I think I'm still going to try it and see how it turns out. Maybe I can find a white one with pink stitching for cheap and have and all white SMP.
