Great story Josh. If Riv cannot furnish a head badge, check with Jen Green in Phila. (Revolution Cycle Jewelry) www.headbadges.com / j...@headbadges.com. She does all kinds of beautiful badges and has made a couple for me. I added one to my 1989 custom Bontrager CX bike, but had to provide proof that I owned one. Keith (Bontrager) provided the bike with a perfectly good decal on the head tube, but I just could not resist tinkering and taped the pewter badge over the decal.. Your daughter may get a kick out of picking her own design. (Jen also does custom badges to your design, but no doubt with an upcharge.) Also, I believe you can find "proper" emblem tape at an auto store or maybe a body shop. Paul Germain Midlothian, Va.
