Custom Head Tube Badges and Frame Emblems
I posted a thread a month ago about making custom head tube badges and frame emblems. Over the past few weeks i have completed a couple of different designs that people have sent me. I just wanted to share them with you so you can see the quality and detail that goes into each piece that i make. Again, if you are interested in me making you a cool custom piece for your bike, email me your ideas and we will go from there. Thank you. thebrett80@yahoo.com

As far as color goes, it depends on what you are refering to as "color". i could send a piece out for colored annodizing, or i could paint a piece any soild color you would like.
My pricing for a single piece is $30 to $50. depending on size and detail. If you order more than one of the same design then each additional piece is $10.

if you are attaching them to an already painted frame, then just a couple small drops of a clear drying epoxy on the back of the head badge, it holds great.
if you have a raw unpainted frame, you can braze them on, or expoxy them on.

Setup a group buy for something we can all enjoy (more interest=cheaper tooling up)?
Any ideas? (just tossing the idea out there)

Besides, most custom head badges cost upwards of $65 for 1 and no real break I any addl ones. That he does any addl at $10 is nutty good pricing.
I would take advantage of Brett's low poricing while it is still low.

Update. Got the badge on the bike using double stick mounting tape. For more intracate designs mounting may be an issue. But for mine, it was pretty straighforward.
Really like it,... still have to get the badges mounted on my other bikes...
