Best Head badges in Cycling

[SteCenturion]

Recently I have been drawn towards older, classic road bikes, maybe trying to recapture my lost Youf.

Already thinking about starting this thread I happened upon a great thread & photos in Special Interests/Classic & Vintage which re affirmed my need to do this.

The waffle now over, the question is simple.

What do you rate as 'The Best' head badge in cycling.

Photos & links please.

This is a thing of beauty in my opinion

In the head office of Shutt Velo Rapide they have a nice box display of head badges, they must have about 60 of them.

Love that Moots one - that's bonkers!

"I know! Let's have a crocodile riding a bike!" "Good idea."

All the more tragic when you see what they decided to substitute for it:

How pathetic is that?

This must take the prize for the fanciest!

Hope the first one comes in carbon.

There's a worse one than that too, it's like this

But it's a sticker! A sticker for fecks sake, talk about cheap!

But would you dare shout "nice lugs" at a brassy nude in real life?
