looks very nice but I'm sure I read somewhere that the guy was 'asked' by cove to stop making these without a licence. Sure he could do other stuff though.

I've got this one om my CX bike. Very nice in the flesh Jen would only make it after I got permission from Brant at the time.

That's very nice, Kuko. Do you think it would cover up the Yorkshire rose on the new Inbreds? Were they mega bucks...?

No idea if the rose is the same size as the old badge, if it is then yes. Not exactly cheap but they are made out of sterling silver. I got mine when the exchange rate was really good iirc it was £80ish with postage. Jen will make it to what ever size you want.

I've just emailed the guy linked to on that other thread - £12 sounds a lot better than £80. I don't hate Yorkshire [i]that[/i] much. 🙂

Hi, thanks John Duke - I am 'the other guy' that makes head badges and as Kuco notes they do tend to be cheaper than Jen Green. Not aiming to compete with Jen, just offer a cheaper, perhaps less exclusive alternative.
I can do one-offs, but try to get price down by producing small quantities. Always worth asking! Dialled have kindly allowed me to do their badge in metal, I am sure you may have seen this on here. It was a pity about Cove as so many people wanted to replace the decals with something more substantial - maybe they have their own plans for something better?
gemoATf2sDOTcom if you need to get in touch.
