What seat and handlebar covers to use

[Tony Raynor]

well I can't decide what to do with the bicycle that I've just got sprayed so I'm putting it out there for some feedback. I've attached the pictures with just the seat on as I need to make the leather handlebar covers anso only want to make one set.

Also the frontera has a small scuff on the left hand side but the other two are fine.

Only asking as its too big for me so want to make it the most aesthetically pleasing for the masses.

Thanks for your help guys.

aesthetically pleasing for the masses.should that not be aesthetically pleasing for yourself

No I stupidly keep buying 23" frames and my legs still haven't grown any longer. When I get the right frame Ive got my Lycett swallow, but I seem to have far too many bikes so I'm just going through them one at a time to make some space.

The rule of thumb IMO is generally black all the way, however, that said white bikes do lend themselves very nicely to a bit of brown accessory fettling.

I did this Pug resto/conversion a few years back and went for brown Brooks saddle and matching Brooks bar tape, and if I do say so myself I think it looked rather smart.



PS: gotta lose the red tyres though if you go brown

I think if you keep the red tyres it will have to be all black

As above .... Tan leather seat/bar tape
Red Tyres ..

Yes, sorry they have to go ! If you use Tan with the cream frame.
