I think you could get a foam company to make bespoke extrusions, but the fabric seems more tricky.

B & Q do a thin walled pipe lagging for 22mm dia pipes which should be OK as a top tube and one for 15mm pipe that should be OK for bars. It comes in grey so you could always dunk it in a bucket of dye the next time you are dyeing a seat! ;). They also do a black flexible version but that looks a bit thick!

I bought a load of fabric from 'Carters' camping & leisure in Reading.

They sell it in rolls and have loads of weights and colours to choose from.

Only problem I can think you might have is that its coated so that its water-proof, this might be a problem getting the inks to adhere to it (best bet get a sample done first).


Hope that helps
