Hi Olof,
Google (search engine at http://www.google.com) now has a function that searches for images on the web. It's amazing what images you can find! It will also search the newsgroups too.
Okay, the name I really like was the suggestion of the Am. language version: LIBERTY (with the Statue of Liberty on the headbadge of course). Everyone remember that the statue was a gift from the people of France? Also the word liberty represents what the bike meant to this boy growing up in SoCal or any boy in any other part of the world for that matter...
