A couple of my bikes....
first, a modest and graceful fillet brazed frame from Gordon Borthwick. Gordon built this for me in 1989. He was a retired mechanical engineer, located in central Iowa and building mostly tandems. His headbadge is a gothic letter B, cut out of copper tubing. Nothing exotic, but it does look nice.
The second is a 1987 Hetchins Magnum Opus, built by Bob Jackson. Beautiful bike, ornate lugs, curly seat and chain stays, and rides very nicely! Might be due to the 531C tubes?? All I know is that it is one of my favorite bikes.
a shot that shows the lugs...
and detail of the headbadge...

This brass head badge of the Western Auto logo is on a Western Flyer I picked up today. Information from a question I posted on the bike over at thecabe led me to think this is a rebadged Hercules. Picking the bike up today and looking at the chainring I believe the guys at thecabe are right.

Looking for an early 1960's Galmozzi badge
... If anyone has a few laying around ;-), I'd be interested. Real vs. replica - have one of those!

Billy Henley "Henley" . The small shop in Picton Ontario Canada constructed a number of klunker style early ATB type bikes as well as selling CCM bikes, skates and of course shoe repair?

It belongs to a local friend who used it as his winter bike for several years. He moved and had to downsize a couple of years back, and I’m not sure it made the cut.
