Something i have been meaning to do for a while but did not have a candidate.
I purchased and old racing bike with a half decent brooks competition on it with one of the inner thigh panels quite damaged with old paint that somebody tried to remove with spirit, so thinks I give it a go. I masked off with tape and got a very sharp stout knife and cut away, its very suprising how thick the leather actually is so below is the result.
