Badges on "Mystery Frames"?
Badges on "Mystery Frames"?
We've all found them...
A frame that has lost its badges sometime in the past before we acquired it. Some can be identified, some can't.
I suppose one could do a 2-tone (or 3-tone) paint job like many of the Motobecanes had. But, it just seems like some kind of branding is appropriate too.
So, what should one do?

I've considered cutting up a classic beer can as a head badge, e.g.:
