I thought about that? Not sure why Trek would want to get in the Ti business though. Actually Airborne is a very small operation. I was on the phone with them once. I asked them a question and the sales guy answered..."let me consult with our accounting department on that. Please hold." Then he proceeded to cover the phone and shout the question to someone across the room. My guess is that Airborne is a bit small for Trek. Airborne is certainly much smaller than Klein and Lemond. I can't see how such a deal would put a speck on Trek's bottom line. When you sell a few million Trek's a year...then you add a few thousand Airborne's...I just don't see why that would interest Trek. Unless they bought them simply to distribute more Bontrager wheels and components.
