RecoveredSaddles FTW

My new travel bike needed a red saddle and new bar tape. so did my Sachs.....so I contacted RecoveredSaddle and sent hem two SLR's which he recovered. In addition he worked w AhnidaRide at HandelBra and matched the bar tape leather to the saddles.

I think he knocked the ball out of the park. Pleasure to deal with, responsive, discussed options intelligently and his craftsmanship on the saddles was perfect.

I'd recommend him to anyone.

Jeez Len, why didn't you put your new saddle and tape on your good bikes


But seriously, Len J. has been one of my imaginary internet friends for a long time. I was happy when he contacted me for this project. I was even more happy to get Ray involved so we could get this done for him. And now I can offer red leather!

Seeing these pictures of these two fantastic bikes makes me proud that I can do this work for everyone. And that I can be a small part of our little community.

These bikes need no words. They are perfect.

Thanks Len.

+100 on the work by Justin at Recovered Saddles. He did five for me over the winter, including a couple of Turbos, an Avocet O2, and a titanium Flite. All gorgeous, ride like new. Very professional communication every step of the way.

I cannot recommend him too highly. No disappointments.
