I started with the XO-1, too but went road-ward and not dirt-ward. Odd, I've always liked road riding as much as, or even better than dirt riding, but I'd somehow become convinced that I wanted a 26" wheel bike for road riding, and I had been riding drop bar-converted mountain bikes with road tires and gearing instead of riding a real road bike; I don't now recall all the details of this 26-for-700C equation.
But I did realize that, with skinny road tires (basically sub 2"), my otherwise very nice mtbs didn't handle nicely, so when I read about the XO-1 I liked, and when a local shop gave me a deal on a new '92 model minus wheels, which I had, I bought. (They couldn't sell it otherwise.) In '94, I asked Grant if he could make me a road bike like the XO-1 but better, and he said, sure. My first 26" custom Riv Road was from Waterford; 2 other, and better ones, followed, and the rest, as they say, is history.
