I'm having my Wicked Fat Chance repainted and "renovated" to new condition by Vicious Cycles and since this is already "out of the bag", I figured I'd let everyone know that it's MINE, so at least I can say I was the first one to go all out on a custom Sterling Silver FAT CITY CYCLES head badge instead of waiting for a boring decal! ;)

I came up the idea and contacted Jen Green, who designed and created it. I gave her an idea of what I wanted, but she did ALL of the work, quite Quickly I might add! She is an incredible artist and she duplicated the head tube decal art of a Fat Chance in Sterling Silver and it's really pretty awesome!

As much as I doubt anyone else will be willing to pay for "Bike Jewelry" like this please check out: www.jen-green.com she does really top notch work and has the patience to deal with crazy bike folks like us!

Jen does fantastic work, but you definately pay...


I had all my headbadges custom laser cut from emachineshop in stainless...a little polishing and you have a killer badge for about 5 bucks a piece.

I'd be interested in doing the CAD design and work if there was enough interest.

cheers,

Sign me up Rody - I'll take two! Do (would?) you do bolt-on or glue-on?

If you're really bored, I'd love one of the Chris Chance headbadges (like my avitar). A good picture is at http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA/chris_chance_cycles.htm .

If they are stainless you can just braze them on.... of course this would only be applicable on full refinishes.

I originally wanted to have mine brazed on but wasn't sure who was going to do the re-paint, so having it screwed on would be just fine...

I actually got the idea from the early Chris Chance Road Frames that had stars brazed all over them, like mainlyfats avitar!

hey Mikey i'm sorry to have let the cat out of the bag....It'll be a killer job though!

No sweat, I'm flattered that you thought it was a cool idea! ;) As much of a rag-tag bunch of misfits we all may be on here, we're all part of a common "brotherhood" (possibly "sisterhood too?) who all dig Fat City bikes!

Are there many if any female FAT COGS who are members here?

The frame is Doo-doo brown...I might just leave in inside black...

Allhailbeefrod,

Uhm, was "Doo-Doo Brown" a stock color for a Yo Eddy? ;) Or is this a recent repaint?

I know this is a touchy subject, but do you have decals on the frame?

Can you please try to post some photos of the frame, so we can see how the badge would look? I would probably say don't have color added but you never know unless you see all options...

Head badge

Hi guys, if you want a custom head badge made by someone who has more of a connection to fat City than the others mentioned try Hoss Rogers (http://hossrogers.com/) he was one of the original painters for FC and now dose custom jewlery and stuff. He said he was going to send me a picture of one he made. When I get the picture i'll post it

I talked to jennifer, I am going to buy one of the Yo headbadges, and she is going to try to make me the word "team." that is present on the headtube also.
