OK Ax, now you're just showing off :mrgreen: I'm guessing the Peerless on the right. The Rollfast pedal plates are awesome and the WF badges, put it over the top! Nice work friend...I'll pm you about my efforts..

Very impressive paint also.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

I nominate you for 'Bike Artist of the year' for these. A 'set' would make a beautiful display anywhere bike nutters congregate :D .

I think he's getting better. :shock: That Johnson badge looks factory made. From now on, I will wonder if any "old badge" that I see is really old. :P Keep up the good work. Gary

Haha I figured it was just a matter of time before somebody started doing these. They look really great! Word of warning to those who want to try it.....as an experienced metalsmith and intaglio printmaker, I STRONGLY recommend ferric chloride as an etching solution. Muriatic acid produces an insane amount of invisible fumes. I saw a hall of fame bladesmith accidentally drink a mouthful of Ferric chloride once, and he was fine. Well, he did say his fillings felt funny afterward. :lol:
