"Columbia by Trek" Bicycles
 

I got a strange call from my sister today. Her husband has $300 in scrip
from his company (10 year anniversary) to spend in a catalog of various
items.

She asked me about a bicycle. She said it said "Columbia by Trek."

Both of these sites mention Trek. I told her that these were obviously
not Trek bicycles. We would have heard something if Trek purchased Columbia.
