I have bought a Falcon Pro Theta bike off Greg (MotomagII) and its not 100% spec'd up. A lot of the parts (forks, grips etc, etc) are not easy to come by.
The forks weren't falcon pro so I bought a Falcon Pro Flyer (Hi Ten with Oval Tubing) which the seller said the forks were round tubing not oval. So I paid over the odds with some weird bidding on it. The other 2 interested buyers had about 3 buys between them. Anyway, I wasn't fussed because I wanted the forks. I just hoped that the forks were round and not oval which they are. The Theta was Full Cro-mo frame and Hi-Ten Round forks.
The thing is the Aero Flyer came with a Headtube badge which is riveted using 2 small rivets on either side of the badge.
I would like to transfer this badge to my Falcon Pro Theta to replace the decal which is covering up 2 holes.
So what do I do?
1. Maybe drill the 2 rivets out using a small drill bit and gradually go up in size until it pops out..................but then the rivet might just start spinning.
2 Maybe try picking the rivet flange out so that the badge will just slide off....................but this might result in me scuffing the badge or doing something worse due to the small size of the rivet.
Has anyone got any ideas?
And after all that....................how the fook to I reattach it to the other Frame's Headtube?
Any ideas, solutions or banter is greatly appreciated.
