My 25th Gift to the Bunch - Rivendell Headbadge Poster Update!

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

It's become a tradition for me, and as long as Rivendell pumps out new models I'll keep updating the poster. This year - the 25th -  the number of models comes to an even 30, just right for a new arrangement that will make a nice poster. The badges are pictured in chronological order as best I can tell. Previous posters included badge variations, but that became way too much. (Trust me, my badge folder is enormous!) I had to choose what I felt were the quintessential versions for each model. The Flickr link will take you to it, and you can download the original size to have printed. Full size is 16" X 20" at 300dpi, and there are plenty of stock frames like that to choose from. Feel free to show us what you did with it! 

As always, thanks to everyone who make this bunch a fun hangout during the year. Here's the link:

Thank you!

There's also an all brass version of the Atlantis badge.

HA! Disregard my lack of thorough reading of the OG post ;)

Marty, thanks very much for continuing this tradition. The Yves Gomez, Glorius and Wilbury badges are such gems.
Happy holidays to you and yours!

Best,

I was thinking the same thing earlier Rich! Such amazing detail. Love a super detailed head badge!

I wish my Bombadil head badge had trilobites on it like the Hunqapillar!

Laing, for whatever consolation it offers, the trilobites burrow under the mud and are rarely seen on my Hunqapillar. So does the mammoth. Grin.

With abandon,

Thank you, Marty - it's a wonderful tradition that I, and obviously others, look forward to!  Your generous gift is a reminder to me of all the thoughtfulness and painstaking detail that goes into every Riv, down to the headbadge.  To think of all the effort on every bike, times 30+ beautiful designs, is really something. Sweating the details, even if it's harder and takes longer ... concerns about manufacturing... suppliers' rising costs ... all in the midst of where the industry is going, and continuing to knock it out of the park is nothing short of amazing.  I know I speak for many here when I say that we are so lucky to experience all that is Rivendell!

Thank you, Marty! I love each year seeing the badges and all they represent. One of the many numerous gifts this group gives throughout the year. Merry Christmas and may God startle you each with joy!
