Hello

I seem to remember that someone on here made custom head badges? I could be totally wrong though... I can't find anything in the archives. Anyway, if someone knows of anyone where I can get this done could you please post up the details?

Thanks!

Metal ones... Thanks for that link mkchris. I've got a specific design I want so pet tags won't do!

I've had a few bits off Jen, all of which have been fantastic.

She's really helpful and will pretty much make up anything you want.

She comes highly recommended.

She's currently doing a variation on a Black Sheep bike badge for when my Stellar arrives.

These are a few she's done for me ๐Ÿ˜€

I just got one made by Geoff Moorhouse. Very nice it is too. And not expensive. Mail me and I'll forward you his mail.

Hi Ilama,

Can you send me the details as well? I can't see your email address in your profile?

I've been trying to locate a head badge for an old Flying Scot bike I renovated with no luck so far so a custom one would be great.

I had a couple of Geoff too. 1 was a custom design. I was blown away by the quality and value for money.

I've recently had a trial HT badge made by Geoff for SingletrAction.

Very nice.

Geoff does lovely work on all the Singular pewter ones. Sheldon's (Ayatollahofniche or whatever he goes by these days) wife has also done some lovely ones for me in the past. Jen Green's are also very nice - and in fact was the first person I used to make the original Swift badge. She would probably be the most expensive option as well.

Thanks, I'd quite like to get a UK one rather than American so I'll get in touch with Geoff to start off with, his stuff looks great!

Thanks for the positive feedback - it is a case of horses for courses, I guess - Jen Green makes quality stuff, but I guess not everyone can afford hand-made silver or would risk it on the bike. Hopefully I can fill the gap with a lower cost option. Sadly delivery can be quite slow at the moment, but hoping that will get better over the next few months...
