Late 80s Bottecchia Headbadge
 

I'm in the process of restoring a late 80's Bottecchia that I found at the local tip. It is a cromor frame that was blasted and painted all black at somestage. Unfortunately, they also blasted the headbadge.

I'm just sorting out paint and most of the parts are arriving but i need to sort the head badge.

So I was wondering if there is anyone out there with a spare head tube badge that they might be willing to part with.

I'll take some pics of the bike and put her up also as a build up thread once i get started.

Cheers

SHould have posted this pic to show the extent of the damage. I carefully checked it before stripping to see if there was any original paint left, but it was all gone:(.

I also shoud have said heeellp!!!:)

Were I you I'd just get something custom in brass/bronze.

A quick bump. Does anyone have one extra pretty please.


Cheers

You might be able to have a decal guy make a decal version of the metal badge. Contact velocals or similar.

Utedeej, they show up on eBay now and then. You might have to be patient but set up a search on eBay for a Bottecchia head badge and it will turn up.

Cheers Kommissar, i'll put the old one on for now and keep my eyes posted.
