Ok. X53 fans...
I've got two nice frames that are distinctly different. One has the large rectangular headbadge that has Western in large letters and assorted other stuff in smaller letters. The other has small brass headbadge that pretty much just has Western Flyer painted on it. The frame with the smaller badge is a "Super", the larger one I'm not so sure about. I don't know if they made an X53 that wasn't a "Super".
Here's my problem .....Both headbadges are affixed using those drive rivets. On the smaller one, I was able to tap them out from the inside since they were protruding slightly into the tube. I got them out far enough to grab them with a set of plyers and eventually worked them back and forth until I got them out. I managed to save the headbadge.
No such luck on the other one. The badge is much thicker and the rivets don't protrude through to the inside. I want to save the headbadge.
...got any cool tricks for that?
