Pretty standard practice: Lance Armstong's time trial bike in his first TdF was a Lightspeed tri bike painted blue with Trek decals.

One the midwest's best builders was/is Matt Assenmacher. He apprenticed with Bob Jackson in Leeds, England. I had a frame built in the late 70's. At that time, he was building bikes for Sue Novara who was the best woman sprinter in the US for many years. They were disguised as Schwinn Paramounts. I think there's still one hanging in his shop.
