I decide to go with the larger head badge with the Trebuchet font. It looks OK on the larger head tube and the screws will clear the head set cups. I hope to start applying the powder blue/black/white paint on Friday.

The key slot is cut and slit. I also chamfer the edges inside and out and I will sand out the edges on the final go over.
Large head badge or small? I'll ponder it next week over a few cervezas.
And Sonny, the new rain bike is officially in work!
The head tube is cut, reamed, and faced. How much can I get accomplished before Mexico?
The seat tube is reamed to 27.2 mm. Hone is next.
Chase and face. Will drill the drain hole also.
Nice miters on the seatstay bridge. The bridge wheel gap is equal to the seatstay gap.
All the silver brazing is complete! Now to get busy prepping it for paint.
