Richard Sachs posted a short little description today of how the original Rivendell lugs came into being. Turns out Grant commissioned them while he was still at Bridgestone, but Bridgestone USA closed before they were used:

Supposedly the protos were hand carved from french blanks (thus would need metric tubing) and have extremely wonky angles, so according to RS they can't really be used to make a bike. All the same, I wonder what such a bike would look like! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
