Get some trim tape from a motor factors, it's used to stick side strips,badges and number plates etc so plenty strong enough.

ouch

no troll, just a genuine question. TBH the head tube badge fell off my main bike about a year ago, never bothered replacing it, but if you have a nice custom badge, why not?

Sorry but I can't give a useful answer

Lucky sod lol

;O)

Could try number plate double sided tape from Halfrauds-use the 1mm version.

Keeps my new GT badge on a old frame secure. Takes a while to dry-avoid rain for a day.

If your Missus paid a fair bit/sentimental value then ask Argos racing cycles Bristol. They make/repair & spray bikes?

Try adhere.co.uk they seem to make double sided tape for every scenario.

I pop-rivetted mine on, I I had to file the backs of the rivet though once done as they fouled the steerer inside the headtube. 2 minute job.

my turner badges came with some small self tapping screws. marked up the holes for the badge, started off the holes with a small drill bit and then drove them home, simple. I have the turner bit if you want it
cheers
