oh, and it feels fine, once you balance the saddle it's quite comfy, just like a regular b17, but being narrower in the middle it also allows your legs to spin a bit more freely.

i cut it down using a stanley knife (changing the blade for every tab that came out) and electrical tape as a guide for the pattern. two light cuts to guide the blade, then deeper ones over and over till it came away. then a leather punch for the holes on the tabs for the tie, and a cut down spoke to tie it together. then finally used the stanley knife again for the bevel. finish it off with a coating of proofide on top and bottom.
tomorrow's cool, i should be home from work around 6:30ish.
see you then.

50..
thats a bit much for me
especially because there's an uncut one for 32 at the moment
but even that is tipping my budget
so I don't know really
but then I don't really know how much these things go for

and sorry for the wait/suspense, this guy seemed really keen, but then kinda awol... but i'll let you know.

well, i'm really hoping for £50?

cheers, btw how much would it cost me? (should I have the opportunity)

nope, still got it, but am waiting on a reply. i've sent him a message again, so i should know soon and i'll pm you as soon as know if he wants it or not.

did you sell that b17 cut down brooks in the end?
