Trek bought a number of mountain bike companies (Bontrager, Gary
Fischer come to mind), but I don't think it bought Ritchey.
Speaking of mountain bikes, I find it ironic that the company with the
most mountainbike-like bike, namely Schwinn, was not a major player in
its development. Go figure.

The Ritchey were indeed also one of the pioneers in the mountainbikes
and made
very light and well finished bikes. But I don't think Trek bought
Ritchey, or
have I missed something?
