Hello fellow STWs...just a quick topic (other than the "what (insert part here)" threads.....

What do you think of headbadges on bikes? Classy? Daft? Would you rather a sticker? Or do you not really care? Discuss.

P.S. pics welcome if you wish

I think bikes need a good badge, I got this made when I built my girlfriends bike up:

I liked the one on my Pace 303 (before the frame snapped...) but generally I think that aftermarket ones tend to look like their trying a bit hard but then I can accept that's not entirely logical.

that love/hate one is awesome. its a fairly complex image for a HT badge but it works very well

who did it for you?

Surely all that metal work on the front end will upset the weight weenies 😀

I think they should have figureheads, like pirate ship ones

Something slightly retro about them...... which is why my ancient 2 bikes have them 🙂

De stickered and badged is the only way to go, for those in the know, bro.

I do like the Singular badges, but I've never considered buying one aftermarket.
