@terrypaulkettering ... The painter may say ...''First we place the tree
in the painting ...... Then we begin to see the paintings among the trees.''

Stop looking.

Begin seeing, where the damp, stretchable leather could be ... amongst that frame.

Then tell your leather handler about it ... he will do what you have seen.

..... wind in your sails ....

My Smalley catalogue doesn't show their saddles but the pics of the bikes do. I have several ads for Smalley bikes but will have to research a little later today.

So I have removed tons of old spray paint and got down to some original paint At that point I clear coated it
Gave the original frame to a local leather Smith and he found some old leather that he used.
I need to find some better tires but they hold on the old wood rims
They took 6 months of water soaking in and out of a kitty pool to get them true
I’m looking for some rat traps that are closer to the originals and I need a skip tooth chain.
I know the knowledge of this group is beyond comparison and I know smarter people than me will correct me but it’s my bike and I’m trying to keep it as close to original as I can do it
So go easy on me
