Xmas Dino Bike #2


The black and red seat was recovered with a blue leatherette fabric by carefully removing the old seat cover, taking extra care not to take off any of the seat foam which ensures a comfy ride! I used spray contact adhesive and secured the fabric underneath with upholstery staples.

When stripping down the bike, we had to cut off the handlebar grips to get the brakes off so I found some cute, blue dino grips to replace them. We also replaced the pedals and chain. We were going to replace the tyres but I scrubbed them and applied some liquid shoe polish to them and they came up like new!
