Retro Selle Italia Flite 1990's Bicycle Saddle Restoration - Retfurb Vintage Refurb

In this video we show how I took a tired looking leather Selle italia Flite Titanium mountain bike seat and give it an overhaul. We will remove the old red covering and replace it with a new piece of black leather. Once this is completed, We will then add some fresh new decals to finish off the repair.

The Selle Italia seat was first introduced in 1990 and has many different variations throughout the years.
It is now considered an iconic bicycle component and sought after for many retro & vintage bike builds.
This particular seat is from 1996, going by the markings underneath. Its had plenty of use, So now its time to give it a refresh.

Bonjour, magnifique travail.

[@Ernestino4212]

Super nice! Where did u get the decals?

[@duathlete827]

Well done.....What did you use to get all the glue off the underside of the saddle and rails?

Can I safely assume that if you are doing a restoration on this saddle, it's because its comfort is amazing? I recently purchased a vintage specialized stump jumper pro from 1998, it's all original but the saddle is very stiff. Is the Selle Italia FLITE soft and comfy when sat on? Thanks in advance
