Ok I agree that you will find Bontrager components on other brands. Other brands such as Lemond, Gary Fisher and Klein which are all Trek owned. I can't ever recall a Bontrager component on a non Trek owned brand. I may be wrong. For the Bontrager components I have had experience with the actual component is made by someone else. For example Truvati makes some (or all) of their chain rings.
