| I have an original pewter head badge but it is not on any of my Rivendells. I could put it on the only Riv I own without a head badge I guess 🤔 (62cm Betty Foy). However if I could work a trade with Bill Lindsey for his clockwork YG head badge I could do a repaint instead and have my own Riv Mixte.
Regarding what the “Y” stands for I wish it was a youth bike. Now that Grant has grandkids approaching self biking widow like I do I would grab a limited edition Riv kid bike lickitly split.

I did not do a year-end update to the badge poster, and am hoping for something new this year to trigger an update. No comment on the latest preview, other than to say it's trendy to use the letter Y in light of the Yellowstone franchise. (I'm seeing "Y" merch everywhere it seems) I'm sure there is no connection. Here's the last one I did, and a link to the file in Flickr if you want to download something to print.

For anyone other than the old timers, that big badge in the center is the first ever (as I understand) and made of Pewter. Anyone here have a Pewter badged Riv? Agree with Bill on the YG clockwork badge - it's been a favorite of mine too. I have pics of most if not all the variations that have been done over the years. Colors, Materials. Sizes. If I put them all in one poster it would cover a king size bed!

I think the Bleriot is my all time favorite Riv headbadge

I wonder how many people buy or don't-buy Rivendells based purely on their love or hate of a head badge? I bought two R05C0 8U883 frames based on the rocket head badge being awesome, and limited release Rosco Bubbe's having good re-sale value. I would absolutely buy a 58cm black Yves Gomez if one came up at the right price, even if it has the lame gold-foil "YG" head badge, because I'm holding the awesome Yves Gomez clockwork head badge. Of my current Rivendells, I think the Romulus has the lamest head badge, but I love the bike. I am always amused by the goof-up with my RoadUno headbadge with one section painted cream and another section cut through to reveal the paint of the head tube underneath, which is... #checks notes# ...also cream. LOL

I have to agree with Jason about this new headbadge. It doesn't quite seem as cool, quirky, or fussed-over as nearly all of the other headbadges in the compendium of Rivendell. I would rank it down there with the Gus badge, and the Betty Foy (sorry folks, I own a Gus and unfortunately can't say it's one of the cooler ones).
