I also wanted to include a couple more personalisations to the paint, something that means something to me. I talked to my wife about putting our wedding date on it, and she replied with "That's sweet, but also really lame. What if we got divorced?" That's the no nonsense attitude that made me want to marry her, and apparently this bike will last longer than our marriage.
So back to the drawing board, and again pulling from my love of mountains and photography (I will never get bored of looking at mountains), I've decided to include a small graphic based on this photo I took
I've also learned there's an Icelandic symbol that represents quite a few things - life, death, etc, which have all featured quite prominently in my life in the last few years - but was commonly used as a marking on horses as a symbol of protection and prevention from accident. I got brought up with various alternate influences from my Mum's friends (one was genuinely a white witch), so this symbol is getting incorporated somewhere too
