LONGONI Touring Bike Head Badge: A French Emblem for Your Restoration
The LONGONI head badge comes from the golden era of French touring bicycles. It is cast in bronze and marked as made in France. That solid metal gives it a weight and presence no decal can imitate. This is not a reproduction. It is an authentic piece of cycling heritage, ready to crown the head tube of a vintage touring machine.
Printed stickers fade. They peel. This badge was built to last. Bronze brings a density and visual authority that plastic or thin alloy badges cannot match. For collectors and restorers working on Eroica-eligible machines, it is the kind of detail that makes a build period-correct.
Condition Notes
As with any used component, minor cosmetic marks or micro-scratches may be present from storage and handling. These do not affect the structural integrity or the legibility of the emblem. Please refer to the photos, which form an integral part of this description.
