Grant could have designed the Madone

[Patrick Moore]

Up very late or else very early, stumbled across this from a 2013 post by Gary Boulanger:

I once came across two letters from the presidents of Specialized and Trek, dated late 1994, letting Petersen know how much they admired his work at Bridgestone, and that he was welcome to work for their companies; all he had to do was name his salary and pick a title. He chose to launch Rivendell, and begin his long, happy journey upstream.

I'm glad he started Rivendell.

Rumor has it this was Grant's early Trek Madone Time Trial Prototype when he was considering working for Trek.  ;-)

"...all he had to do was name his salary and pick a title."

That had to make it a tough call.  But maybe his exposure to corporate constraints at Bridgestone made him think twice.  My enjoyment of my Atlantis makes me glad he did.

Grant's recollection of that time - as told in the Bridgestone story in a Reader - is he didn't have a option that made any sense to the way he was thinking about bicycles. I mean, he *could* have gone to Trek, but designing OCLVs and welded LeMonds would have driven him crazy.

Thanks for sharing this, it’s a fun read.
