Re-attaching Headbadge
How do I do this? It came off my fixed conversion , and I want it back on.
A "search" link will suffice if you have more luck with the search function than I did.

I didn't really think of that. Huh.
It was riveted on originally, so I was thinking for something along those lines. But epoxy makes a bunch of sense.

Oh, well you can re-rivet it. All you need is a rivet gun and some rivets.

I can't believe it's been this long since I've been able to legitimately recommend it for something.

Check a craft store for some E6000 or GOOP. They are between a glue and silicone caulking. About $4.00 a tube.

If you've put a lot of time into this bike, then I'd suggest riveting it. You can buy one for not too much money or see if there are any local machine shops that'd let you borrow one for a few minutes.
Or you could just half-ass it and glue the thing on.

Yeah, I would have never recommended glue initially if I had known it was riveted. Rivet it - don't epoxy.
