to find a white ti rolls and can't so I was pondering putting a white
cover on one of my old ones. thanks

Send 'em to rehab and then AA (Asses Anonymous). You should attend Assanon,
BTW.

I like Bill's answer, but I'll just point you at CyclArt's saddle
service: http://www.cyclart.com/leather.html . Good luck.

I know you are speaking of a Ti saddle and this one is not likely Ti (although
it doesn't say)... Check out Nashbar. In my current catalog, they show white,
NOS Rolls for only $30.

Buy white saddle (perf or otherwise) and install on your existing Ti rails?

Gotta be easier than covering.

Mine shows one too, that's the best bet.

You could also talk to a place that does motorcycle saddles, though bike
saddle leather is usually epoxied on, and the upholstery on m/c's often
held on by hooks.

Heck, even a good upholstery shop might have ideas.

Do check out Nashbar--I got a couple Selle Royal Prestige saddles with
really nice leather covers from them for $4 each. NOS and look perfect on
my old rides. Comfy too!

No personal experience, but you could try Recycled Saddles:

Some personal experience. His jobs hold up very well through thousands
of sweaty-butted miles, and I'm very happy with both his work and his
service. However...

1. He is in business because he acquired lots of automotive upholstery
material. If that suede-like material is what you want (rather than
white smooth leather), and you like his current colors, it's good.

2. No problem in heat and humidity. However, if you get caught out in
the rain, the material is not waterproof. You'll finish the ride on a
sponge which may not yet be dry the next day.
