I thought I would start this thread to document the build up of a bike I am building for my wife. We have been together for over 10 yrs and have been riding for a few years.

She has outgrown her current Trek 2200


So for her B-day in Aug, I am having a Trek Madone custom painted and I wanted to incorporate the TE logo, name, and byline into the frame.

TE has been very generous and provided me with the vector artwork to do this.

I have a friend that is a graphics design artist...but I would like to hear some ideas from the TE members. IE where should the logos go, the by line 'Where Style Meets the Road and of course TE.com, paint ideas, etc.

Here is a cpl of designs my wife has commented on...but I am open to all ideas!





There is about a 2-3 month production lead time for the stripping, painting and shipping and then I do the build up....which is why I am starting so early on this.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
