I think what a lot of us who were following didn't know at the time was that the frames called Rivendell were moving up to a higher level. During and before the switch away from Waterford for the frames called Rivendell, the frames were not called custom. In hindsight, it is easy to see the hierarchy of the frames that followed (custom, Toyo-built, eventual production-Waterford-built, etc.), but no way to see that at the time.
