Pm on its way now.

On second thoughts i think i will leave it as it is. The condition of the badge is not that bad. I think new paint wont do it justice (which any way i go about restoration).

Thankyou everyone for your time in responding to this, i value all your comments. I will keep this in mind in future builds.

Thanks guys so the general verdict is to keep it as it is and just re attach it after the job is done? I'm abit of a perfectionist but dont want to take away from the vintage feel either. For example the feathers has a great amount of detail and i don't want to lose that by careless polishing. I can do the above but also don't want to fuck it up in the process as i think its quite a rare head badge.

I do think that would look cool. But if you want to restore it Humbrol was the first thing I thought of too. You wouldn't need anything over the Humbrol - you might want to strip the old paint off with something first though. But I'd avoid anything that could fuck up a handsome head badge.

Fox i take it i probably couldn't just patch up the bits which are bare as they would look different to the original paint, curses the previous owner.

Thanks guys for all your help on this. So much nearer a choice!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew what sort of paint that i need to restore my old Coventry Eagle head badge as i just sent off the frame for a respray. The head badge is in abit of a state and i was curious to which paint i would need to get it back to its former glory. Also if it will need abit of a rub down etc.

The above is the head badge.
Also i would need some form of finisher on it?

Thanks for your time.

First time thread on this site be kind if ive been a moron and this can be answered easily please direct me to the thread i have had a look at the search for this.

Bit out of my price range just right now, I will be needing a campy headset and BB soon perhaps super record again. Just waiting for my pay to come! Will keep that in mind. Will check with you before i look elsewhere for the above as you have been kind to myself before.

Free bump.

Out of mild curiosity ian, got any beater campy super record cranks?

Worth a punt or take it as a kind bump. Hope your well.

1953 Claud Butler 21" frame.

What do yall' think of it. Was going to save abit more and get a nice lugged track frame. So buy this beauty or beast if it is. Or save for the track frame i originally wanted?

Thanks.

This is a lovely bike, just out of my budget. Damn poor pennieless student with no current job. What i have been looking for, for a while. Consider this a free lustful bump.

An okay BSA frame needs abit of a clean up however it dosent look to hard to achieve a nice looking bike okay lugs.
