GoodMorning, After being on the sidelines for 3 months, and learning so much, I'd like to join in. I currently own 16 bicycles, (have had as many as 29, you know sell one to fund the next project?) and i ride most of them. Having back issues, it helps having different rides : Mountain, cruiser, hybrid, road bike, full size folding, and 2electric (one diy fwd, and a rwd).
I got 'the bug' to start collecting after reminiscing with dad over some old photos. So in December i acquired
a '76 Avocado Apollo Racer, '82 Black Apollo 5 Speed, Purple Ross Barracuda, Schwinn OCC Chopper, & Saint Tropez 10sp.
I know, I know, none of these are highly sought-after, but the are all sentimental, mom & dads hard work from 1976-1986.
Guy i purchased 2 Apollos turned me.on to The Cabe
I now have a bug for anything Schwinn.
Now to my question: I want to replace a solid black banana with the correct Ross Apollo seat. Since it is next to impossible to find the correct seat, I decided to fabricate my own.
So i filled a box with spray insulation foam, and i placed my seat covered in plastic in it. The results are in photo.
What material (s) should i use to complete it with current mold? Rubber? Foam again?
How do i connect it? I just may sacrifice an old saddle.
I already bought two different fabrics, one small checker, and a small basket weave fabrics, along with Incorrect piping.
Thanks in advance
If there's interest, I'd share pics before and after
