Awesum Headbadges ! (pics PLZ)
I just saw my first American Eagle headbadge on a "catch of the day" bike and i thought WOW that looks awesum !, and it got me thinking, up until now i have always thought Hetchins had the most ornate rivetted badge of any bike but now being suitably impressed (by the AE ) i was wondering what other bikes are there that posess such ornate and elaborate rivetted headbadges ? (pics are def a must )

My favorite is the old Schwinn Henderson badge from the 1930s- I haven't totally polished mine yet, so here is one featured on the BicycleChronicles website. They're killer!
