Breezed through forums and didn't find a topic on the subject.

Edit:
Rebuilding my Trek 1400. Looking to do a custom head badge as I
have axis err (goes to show you where my mind is) access to cnc mills so possibilities are endless :)

Red Baron powder with two slanted black stripes on the right fork (about midway)

Edit:
For the moment I've been screwing around with my initials. at about 1.5" x 2"

Have any that you're proud of? Feel free to throw on some ideas.

Hey there iit_architect!

You'll find head badges on the first page of this website:

www.pathlesspedaled.com (http://www.pathlesspedaled.com)

Make sure you look thoroughly because the page is busy. Look on the right hand-side of the margins.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the lead Slim!

Just was curious if any bf members had any work they wanted to showcase :)

Appreciate some fancy work there and surely it will fuel my ideas :D

Still looks good on my bike after a couple of years. Prices sure have gone up.

Neat! Definitely an one off and unique!

You're not kidding about those prices O.o could get you a nice powder coat job!

I was a hiker before becoming a cyclist. When I finished hiking the 46 ADK peaks, I designed a stylized 46, and had it tattooed on my leg.

When I built up my first naked frame, I had it made in vinyl for the head tube.

Winter is right around the corner, so I don't blame you ;P
