Wow, you really put some work into that huh?

I think you should leave it matte black (unless you can find a shiny leather black seat to match the frame). Anything else just won't look right and would detract from the obvious work you've put into the rest of the bike.

That does look trick!

whatever you decide upon, just bear in mind the good old british weather & that riding with a soggy botty is no fun at all despite what peter henry may tell you.

As for material I would go for Alcantara. Hmmm, Colour not sure, but I think red would be to much.

I would try and get someone to photoshop with some idea's.

Dal

Paint is awesome by the way
