I have no clue what any of these symbols mean. I know there are some of you out there that know, let us ignorant folk in on the game.

since I can't see it while typing
LUZ - for his stage win at Luz Ardiden
Texas Map - obvious with spotlight on Austin
Radioactive Symbol plus drip - homage to Chemo and Radiation treatment of his cancer
10//2 - day he was diagnosed with cancer and his new product line
7.21 and STG 10 are dates or stage #'s in previous tours that he took

39 and 41 were his hematocrit levels before he obtained the Ferrari engine. ;)

That "L" looks like the one that Laverne used to wear on all her sweaters. ;)

I think it is a big Trek Marketing push. They were pushing it on one of the tech feature bits. I guess you you order certain trek bikes, you can select 7 icons to have added to your bike. They will print them out and stick them on, hopefully under the clear coat.

I like when companies do the custom paint better.

Are you effing kidding me??? none of those things are relevant to my life and I sure wouldn't want any of those on my bike.... and it's not because fishhair thought they were "sooo cool" either.

yeah, I found them a little cheesy myself. of course, I have a large sticker of a scantily-clad woman on my aero downtube, and I'm sure many people would find that cheesy.
