Wow.... that looks really nice... and I have to agree that Jo-Ann fabrics is going to be your best bet for the seat. I recovered a few car seats with vinyl from there.... a bike seat shouldn't need more than 1/2 a yard of material, and tops $10 in foam.... in all the total deal should cost $20 and take a few hours to cut the foam to shape and staple the covering over it.....

good luck and congratulations on a very nice bike

Thanks guys. The color is nice just not exactly my taste, though it has grown on me. Anyone want to suggest a nice helmet that is sub 200 that would match?

check on ebay, you can often get a helmet for alot less than retail, my helmet was $160 MSRP, but i got it for around $70. dunno how much the icon mainframe is, but i thought they had one close to that color.

nice bike! its good to see a cane still in original condition. Try denniskirk.com for the bolts, if they dont have them on there then call the number for them. I try to get there catalog when it comes out each year.

i dont think you are gonna find an actual kit for all the bolts on an F1. the biggest thing you will find with having an F1, is that most companies make stuff for F2+. i had put in a reqest at bikebolts.com a while back....but it doesnt seem they have one yet. check out a place like mrcycles.com and look at their microfiche blow apart diagrams, then reference the screws to those on an F1 and F2, see if they have the same dimensions, which I am sure they do.

Dinnis kirk has universal kits that come in all colors and I think they come in sets of 100, but dont quote me on the count.
