Custom Head Badge - Sterling Silver

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:09:15 -0500

$95.00
What's a head badge? Think of it as a hood ornament for your bicycle. It gets mounted to the front part of your bike's head tube. Most bicycles these days have a wimpy plastic head badge or, even worse, a painted logo. But you're unique, and you want your bicycle to reflect you (not the company that you bought the bike from). Which is where a custom head badge comes in...

The photos in this listing are just a few samples that I have made for others. But, the sky's the limit as far as designs. If you can draw it as a simple black & white line drawing, then I can make it into a head badge.

This listing is for 1 custom head badge in sterling silver.

Please use the "Notes to Seller" section to explain your design. I will contact you once I receive your order to make sure that we're on the same page. Turn around time will be approximately 1 week.

Attach to your bike with an epoxy (such as JB Weld) or a heavy-duty double-stick tape (such as 3M).

Please note: Because some designs are more labor-intensive than others, I reserve the right to increase the price and send a revised invoice. All price increases will be communicated to you, the buyer, before I begin any work.

Attach to your bike with an epoxy (such as JB Weld) or a heavy-duty double-stick tape (such as 3M).

If you're interested in a sterling silver mustache, just send me a convo and I'll create a custom listing for you. Only $55.

** Right now, I'm traveling around the US on bicycle! Each mustache is made on the road, in a variety of fascinating places. Check out the photos of me making a mustache outside of Yosemite!
