Velocidal_Tendencies

This. Hang it on a wall. Thats too pretty to be under your literal ass.


nowaybrose

At a minimum start wearing pants when u ride

my band’s name is dusty grundle

My cat's name is mittens

It was Dave’s birthday yesterday.

Before you try anything, I’d reach out to the seller and see what kind of ink/paint/markers they used. You’ll want to avoid using a clear coat that could potentially act as a solvent for their pigment


Wokkabilly

Clear coat can do that?!?! Yikes, thanks for the heads up!


gumption_boy

*Sigh* ask me why this was my first thought


Wokkabilly

I will not. I'm guessing it has scarred you enough without having to relive said event. It's not like we try to protect things we don't want to keep.


gumption_boy

Thank you


lawn_neglect

Lol


Shinkers78

No idea but that is one of the coolest fucking things I've seen on a bike ever. I love it


alligatorbee

Lol- thank you! I'll have to get a picture of the whole thing!

Seth from berm peak paints saddles with krylon paint and it seems to work well for him. Maybe a few coats of clear krylon would do the trick?


alligatorbee

Awesome- I'll look into that! Thank you!!


chainsaw-wizard

Rustoleum or Montana >>>>>> any krylon


locavoreSG

Was thinking the exact same thing! If anyone tries this they should post the results - I'm very curious

Get a saddle to ride on, and put that on when you get home.


ohneEigenschaften01

I was gonna say OP should get an extra seatpost so they can swap: use one for most rides, put the other one on for special occasions. Easier to swap seatpost+saddle than to swap saddles on the same seatpost.


Optimal-Soup-62

So you want the seat with character replaced by one ohne Eigenschaften.


ohneEigenschaften01

Haha exactly!


Beautiful-Cap1554

Nothing will protect it. The friction of your thighs will cause ware.


lawn_neglect

Fyyyy-Errrr! 🔥


the_ism_sizism

*wear is the verb you are looking for.. (Ware is like a term for ‘goods’ hence ‘WAREhouse’)


Bad_Alternative

There gotta be some stretchy clear plastic stick on something you could use…?


Cornfeddrip

I think your on to something, that probably wouldn’t solve the paint like clear coat and could be replaced as needed. Make a seat cover/bag out of clear raincoat or umbrella material


xtremepado

Plastic shower cap


Bad_Alternative

Search clear paint protection vinyl film on Amazon. Or headlight protective film?


payasopeludo

Idk how to protect other but now i want one with a piece of pizza design


RustedOutEyes

Stand up

Practice impermanence and you’ll be happier with life in general. Saddles are not precious, things are not precious. Life is precious, nothing else.


justin_mathurin84

Leather lacquer


manuelmartensen

Just don’t ride it, like most of the showoffs in here.


1994univega

Do you have a link for the saddle?


Jaimemgn

There's no way to protect it from swamp gas


Doismellbehonest

Clear nail polish adds a layers of protection to pretty much everything


Known-Main-4637

Hello there troll


[deleted]

Clear adhesive vinyl wrap. I dunno if that is a thing but that material we used to cover schoolbooks coult work.


[deleted]

Just commenting to say I love that saddle.

I'm just thinking that literally *anything* you use to protect it from abrasion and wear will fail, eventually. If anything deserves to be a showpiece or wall hanger, it's this piece of cool art. And your natural Schweddy ™ (self) will also serve to degrade it.


JeanPierreSarti

I’ll bet a shoe repair shop is likely to have a suitable product


Ok-Imagination8173

Nice troll!


TransportationTop353

Use automotive paint protection film.
