+1 Bike brand that doesn't show up on google = private label, store brand. During the bike boom, every gas station, tire store, hardware store, discount store, and so on, had their "own" brand. Of course they did not make the bikes, they just had a company put various decals and stickers on the bike, and they had their brand. I bought my first bike as a kid at a lawn mower repair shop, they had their own brand too. They didn't even sell new lawn mowers, but they had a line of bicycles.
