Nishiki & Norco headbadges
Hey,
I'm looking to convert an old Nishiki tri-olympic bicycle to a fixed gear bicycle. I know; how trendy - but in downtown Seattle, all the cool kids have one... Besids, I love my giant, espically for the longer rides...
It gets even better in that I have a second bike - for my wife, of course - that's nearly identical, but made by Norco. It's amusing in that the frame is identicial (colour scheme, lugs, components, etc), but made in Canada. My understanding is that Nishiki did that to avoid import taxes, or something to the effect.
Anyways, I'm pretty much ready to start the project, but I'm looking for a headbadge to mount to the front of each bike. I've been monitoring eBay for a month now, and have asked every seller / winner if they'd be willing to part with the headbage and most found it not worth the effort required to remove two rivits...
Was wondering if anyone here had a Norco (med priority) or Nishiki (higher priority) headbage they'd be willing to sell?
Thanks!
Kevin

Hi Kevin, welcome to BikeForums!
Do you know how old the Nishiki is? Are you looking for the 'Eagle' Nishiki headbadge?
Photos?
