A saddle before a horse.

I found a deal on a crusty bike looking at online markets.

It had all the important bits I was looking for being the frame and wheels...but no seat

I thought I had the sale locked in and offered to make arrangements.

Looked on ebay and found this seat and tank for a really good price so purchased it...

Thought everything was falling into place....

But then the crusty bike was sold under my nose before I could collect it....O well saved my self the fuel bill had I picked it up...

So now I have a saddle and no horse.

Perhaps a better horse was meant for the saddle...

I'm pretty happy with the condition of the tank and seat. Seams to be original leather with a couple of goop splotches that I rubbed off with kerosene and some white paint which is slowly flaking off too.

Bit of surface rust nothing im not used to by now.

I'll be a show piece on the shelf for a while.
