Handmade Marin County California Vintage Bicycle Head Badge Emblem – Fine Etched Stainless Steel

Restore iconic Northern California cycling heritage to your classic mountain bike or custom build with this handmade Marin County California Bicycle Head Badge Emblem. Meticulously recreated for vintage Marin MTB restorations, retro steel gravel builds, and classic touring rigs, this emblem features the historical Marin crest rendered in heavy-duty fine-etched stainless steel with a sleek silver and black color finish.
