ABSTRACT:
A bicycle saddle is produced through the steps of providing a fabric/film having a selected perimeter contour and disposing the fabric/film into a mold with the fabric/film perimeter surrounding a mold cavity, the cavity having a bicycle saddle contour. A gelable polymer is disposed into the mold cavity and onto the fabric/film and the fabric/film is conformed to the mold cavity to form a shaped elastomer adhering to the fabric/film in order to permanently contour the fabric/film in the shape of the bicycle saddle contour. A bicycle saddle shell is heated to a temperature sufficient to bond the shell to the shaped elastomer and pressed onto the shaped elastomer to bond the shaped elastomer to the top surface of the shell.
