I would leave the headbadge as-is, serving as a testament to the bike's years and miles. [MENTION=171673]MisterK[/MENTION]

The Pinarello for my daughter had a finish that was unacceptable. We decided that the headbadge would remain in its present condition to represent the before and after. It is a good representation of the previous condition:

If I could find a replacement, I would likely buy it, but......

Hi,
Do you still have your Aumon tricycle? I have a good photo of my Aumon badge with all the colours. Let me know if you still need a photo.
Also interested to see your Aumon tricycle. There are very few left. I know of one in Wales, one in Australia, a few in France, and mine! Two weeks ago I was at Anjou Velo Vintage with mine!

best regards, Tim Bucknall
