Nope. The slope of resistance to to really letting yourself ride and enjoy an XO-1 as Grant designed and intended is steep. Considering this trade communicates that you objectify the XO-1, as many do. I had a '93 XO-2 (the purple Dirt Drop bar one) and found it a pioneering design idea but easily outdone by my 2002 Rambouillet, also by Toyo. The focus Rivendell allowed Grant to give the Atlantis and Rambouillet exceeded what could be done in the Bridgestone business model considering the production nature of those bikes, even the rare halo models (had a '91 MB-0 too).
Good conversation a while back either here or on iBOB about production lugged construction (realtive to the MB-series) with input from Mark B. about the copper brazing head tube and lugs made as a component for the main triangle build was a good example how the finished frame looks like a hand built item but incorporates definitely mass production process. I prefer my bikes dusty from miles on unpaved roads, not storing them. Keep and ride the Atlantis.
