Rivet Cycleworks offers classically shaped leather saddles with nice features hidden beneath the hide.
As the name suggests, a riveted metal connector holds the bottom together, pulling leather down from the sides. Anyone who’s ridden a similar style saddle for long knows the top part can stretch and roll inwards or outwards into a rather uncomfortable position. Rivet’s rivets prevent this.
The saddles are offered in a variety of colors and builds/lengths, and they have matching saddle bags and other nifty accoutrements…
An adjusting bolt adds or removes tension in the saddle so you can customize its ride feel. They also let you take up slack as the leather is broken in. The Riveted piece is visible through the cutout. All are 270mm long and widths vary from 150mm to 160mm to 170mm depending on model. All three have 90mm rails available in cromoly or titanium with weights from 360g to 600g. The thick leather comes from the American Midwest and is waterproofed during the tanning process, eliminating the need for post-purchase treatment.
They also offer leather handlebar tape and saddlebags, which hook nicely into the integrated bag loops on their saddles.
They also happen to distribute Skully blinky lights…and there’s a sweet Ninja version on their website, too.
