It was based partly on the Raleigh head badge on my Gran Sport and on this hoodie from Micheal's Cyclery (I was going to college in Ames, IA where the shop was located).



I'm still in contact with my friend that made this for me 35 years ago.... just in case anyone wants to ask for a quote (not sure if she is still doing stained glass work or not).

Very cool, well aware of Micheal's, it was a mecca for racers of the day, Hampsten, Howard, Meeker and many more.

I have a bike from Micheal Bornstein that he built when he was at Strawberry here in PDX. He worked at Micheal's before and after that I believe. It was supposedly Greg Meeker's training bike for the Olympics that he didn't get to.
