Bontrager is a rare name.
There was a Bontrager who had a mountain bike components company. Rumor is he’s a big homo. I rile my friend about it. His seat is a Bontrager and his sweaty but comes in contact with it!
I suppose it's possible, but his background doesn't suggest that, IMHO.
Well, I stand corrected!
