You rock, FBG!!
I can't believe it! I saw that contest on the Trek website not long ago and thought how cool it would be to design a bike, but the contest had just ended so I was too late. I am SO psyched for you. And that is one sweet design, I must say! I see a new career possibility for you ...

Wow, is that beautiful. Congratulations. If I ever see one on the street, I'll tell the owner I know the designer!
(Trying to imagine how I could justify owning a third bike "because it's so pretty"...

Lise "What do the Japanese characters say in English?"
I think it says "your bike sucks" like on the chainguard on Biachi Muss (as if I needed a reason to get another bike).

Chinese Translation
It means "Passion".
I found out something interesting about Chinese characters because I was going for the Japanese/ cherry or pear blossom theme. The Japanese did not have a written language so Japanese characters are basically the same as you will find in Chinese. I never knew that.
Also, for you budding designers: Trek does this every year, so there's always next year...
One thing Derek said was very important was that the design needed to be easy to reproduce in production and I met that criteria. When I did the design I thought about when I used to airbrush and how I would go about masking and such. I guess that extra consideration helped.

That's so cool, congratulations! Your design is awesome, I like the different color combination choices. It's really subtle, and feminine without being too girly (even in pink!).
