Well, yes, and no, I would think... Yes, Grant designs the frames, pics the material, etc. However, when a bike that was being made in Japan by Toyo was using Miyata steel, but then when RBW transfers to building at Waterford, and W'ford doesn't have Miyata but it does have a stack of OX Plat perhaps, but there's a slight difference in gauging between the two companies, well, in that case I would suspect that Grant would select/inspect/approve of a change... it would be 'different', but, Grant would ensure that it's still 'the same'. I'm not saying going from Ram-size tubing to Atlantis-size tubing; but, just a change of source, and adjusting to ensure it meets his spec. Maybe it doesn't change one iota, but... well, if one Bomba had X fork crown, but this Bomba over has Y fork crown, or the same on early Rams to late Rams (even all made by Toyo), well if you can change a lug style, couldn't you re-spec a tube?
(Of course, I'm not privy to the inner workings of Riv moving locations of builds... but it seems to me, it only makes sense or is likely that there can be adjustments along the way... nothing drastic, just tweaks...)
