Where to get a Eddy Merckx headbadge ? (newish bike)

Post by Kelly48 »

Hi everyone!
I've lost the Eddy Merckx logo from the head stem of my road bike and can't seem to source another. I've contacted a few companies and they've suggested a custom made one. Does anyone have any experience of where to go etc? The bike was new last year
Many thanks

Or even go direct?

the head badge is not like other spare parts; it can be used to alter a bike's identity. Accordingly you may be required to go to the manufacturer and demonstrate that you have the bike in question before they will sell you one.

However IIRC the badge you need is actually quite simple in nature and could be fairly easily laser-cut.

cheers

Head badge decals available from Lloyd https://h-lloyd-cycles.myshopify.com/co ... ckx?page=1 and Atlantic Boulevard https://www.bicycledecals.net/eddymerckxdecals.htm
Note that these are decals appropriate to Merckx lightweight frames, not for the Merckx badged heavy frames made by Falcon (I believe) which had triangular decals with a picture of Eddy in them.
