James: Thanks for the tip on the 1991 catalog(ue). I just read it, and 
liked it, on Sheldon Brown's site. Interesting to read Grant's thoughts on 
frame flex / planing: "The frame is a spring. Like a sprung wooden floor or 
a diving board, it flexes and repays energy on the rebound."

As for the 1994 catalog: Here's one of my favorite lines, from the RB-2 
blurb:

". . . Nobody, not even a really big fool, would make a railroad spike from 
aluminum or carbon fiber. Bikes and spikes are made to hammer, and should 
be made from steel."
