HEADBADGES

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok I may be wrong,but as i look at my puney pile of frames,I realize there ain't a dang headbadge on any of them. I have no idea what kind of bike any of them were. I ,and this is just my thoughts on the matter, wish the headbadges were left alone. Charge me more for the frame , but give me the dang headbadge. They really don't bring that much on E-bay.....I have looked. Unless it really a rare one, and then I can't believe a person would want to mess up an expensive rare frame buy keeping the headbadge. I know there is someone out there with a flyte one stashed. Someday a hundred years from now somebody will look at a cool frame and say I wonder who made this bike .....and nobody will know, because the headbadge is buried in some other state. Ok thats my 2 cents worth. :lol:

so what are you putting on the stretches?

 

[Hooch]

the colson I sold you was missing the badge
I used to keep them on the frames and most generic ones i still do
but i had one once i was paid $100 for the badge and 25 for the frame ... so well it was an easy decision

If I live long enough to ever sell one to someone other than family,I'm going to take a hammer and a chisel and bang HOMEMADE on them. :lol:

It you have access to a CNC machine some cool things could be done

Maybe something functional like I put on the Black Rat

I really understand the concept, I am just mad at my own short commings,for not knowing who made what. They really look like the same company built most of them and just changed the bars a little. Or they all copied each other. Hooch yours is the only one that i know what it is. i could draw a colson in my sleep. Hey Hooch you got a flyte??? :mrgreen:

 

[Hooch]

Come on Hooch dont let me down, you know what every bike made is. Surely you have seen one of these Canadian babies. :lol:

 

[Hooch]

[Uncle Stretch]

I wish. I found it on the Cabe. It was produced by a Canadian outfit called CCM Flyte. Only made them for 4 years . Scarce as chickens teeth. wish I had it. :mrgreen:

I have seen a few of these in a friends bike collection. They are the coolest bikes made. They are also one of the rarest CCM bikes. They were made from 1936 to 1940. My friend would have 4 of them but when he had one shipped from Montreal to Regina the truck stopped in Winnipeg where the truck full of computers and 2 bikes was stolen. The company employee who stole it was high on cocane and sold all the computers. He did not remember where he got rid of it or the bikes.The bikes have not been seen since. I would guess he opened the box to find an old bike and dumped them in the garbage. I would love to have one of these.

Ok I couldn't refrain, "badges, we dont need no stinking badges" with that off my chest I just love the newer bikes with the carpet tape badges...nothin lke cutting prices on them rivets.

 

[bigredddaddy]

No kidding, pop still comes in aluminum cans so why can't they stamp them out from the leftover cans? You can't get cheaper than that. Isn't there a thread on making headbadges?

we need one !!!
