Thank you for the kind remarks.
One correction that was pointed out, thanks, to the Cabe's Barracuda, was the item in her left hand is not a hatchet, but a carpenters square of the builder.
That makes much more sense, since she is the symbol of rising up to rebuild the city.
Even though the information was right in front of us, it was only available if you knew where to look.
Kim and I were pretty excited when the pieces of the puzzle started to fall in place.
I have always been intrigued by the symbolism of the bicycle headbadge.
It seems that each manufacturers badge had a story to tell.
Some were easily deciphered, and some, only the manufacturer knew.
Patric, your articles,The Souls Searchers, in Classic Bicycle News, was a great inspiration for this thread, hence the title that I chose.
Shawn, your 1898 Model 22 The World Roadster, gives me hope, that maybe someday, a complete original 1898 model 31 Special "Chicago" Roadster will be found with its headbadge still intact. That would be amazing!
As unlikely as this seems, your magnificent bicycle shows, that it is a distinct possibility.
So, to all here at the Cabe, if you feel like the headbadge on your bicycle has a story to tell, post the results of your search for the soul behind the badge.
