I got the raceface atlas i-beam setup with the saddle too. Here is what thing thing looks like:

I got it because it is the lightest combo for the money. Didn't realize how ugly the white "map" of whister would be.

is there any way to dye this saddle so it is all black? what about the seatpost?

You can always just tear that cover off and replace it with a piece of black leather. Takes 30 min tops. You just glue it on and those ibeam saddles are the easiest too do it on also.

How about mud and ball sweat? I treat my saddles with that every year to give it that weathered look.

pretty sure I've used a sharpie with some success to color in worn edges of a saddle. MIght be worth a shot. Get a real nice fade-proof pen and color in the lines.

thanks. that vinyl dye looks like it would work well. might use some black touch up paint on the seatpost! looks easy enough.

Get your wife/gf to reupholster the seat. They love projects.

Agreed. If you're near a saddle maker, they should have chap leather on hand - - fairly thin and very supple and stretchable. You can also use short staples into the plastic on the underside to secure it. I redid the seat on my old IT 175 Yamaha that way once.

If you just want to repaint, use Mar-Hyde from the auto parts store. It's specifically for coloring auto vinyl upholstery. Lasts decently.
