Beautiful! Did Rudi make the metal plate on the back or did that come from Tomii?

Dang that's pretty nice. I'm guessing the badge in the back was laser or waterjet cut.

You know...one of those fake arms hanging out of a tini saddle bag would be hilarious.

I wondered what the opinions in regards to the rivets would be. They are about twice as big as my Brooks b-17 special.

I haven't mounted it yet
I'm trying to condition my behind first before breaking in this saddle. It is shockingly thicker and harder than my current B-17

Rudi's saddles don't break in - you break in to the saddle.
