>From an old interview on e-Ritchie's site: "RS: I met Grant Petersen at a trade show about ten years ago, but hadn't recalled that until about four years ago when he called me to write a catalog piece about fork crowns. I sent him three and a half single-spaced, typed pages on the subject which he edited down to the piece in the 1993 Bridgestone catalog. It subsequently led to his desire to have an article on filing; this became the lug article in the 1994 catalog. Through this all, he had me design a set of ornate lugs for Bridgestone's road frame. I carved a set from some Nikko lug blanks, sent them to Japan, and Grant was to have them produced en masse. The project got shelved because the lugs were said to be just borderline enough to be too intricate to produce, and definitely too ginger for the Bridgestone workers to use. The lugs were sent back to me and stayed in my window for a while, and then they ended up as the Rivendell road frame lugs, cast in the Orient for Grant to use here."
