Tour de France, tour de force!

Say Lance Armstrong and sports fans say cycling. Say Lance Armstrong's rig and serious cyclists say Trek. Based in Waterloo, Wisconsin, the Trek Bicycle Corporation began in 1976 as a manufacturer of bicycle frames -- and two years later added complete bikes to their product line. Since then, Trek bicycles have emerged as the clear choice of serious riders, whether for racing or off-road adventure -- carrying such well-known competitors as Armstrong and Roland Green to victory in races as prestigious as the Tour de France and mountain biking's Sea Otter Classic. "We manufacture bicycles, bicycle clothing, and accessories that we sell through authorized dealers around the world," notes graphic design production manager Tricia Burke. In the United States alone, over 1500 dealers carry Trek products, with additional outlets in Canada and overseas. One of Treks secrets is its detailed attention to the retail end of its business -- providing dealers with a comprehensive catalogue of parts and accessories. A serious catalogue requires a serious database -- like FileMaker Pro, the award-winning database software application from FileMaker Inc.!
