This is really nice, and the follow-up comments are nice, too. I
posted it to my Facebook page, along with a link to my own interview
with Grant back in 1992:

That was a pleasure to read!

Grant describes himself as a one-trick pony.  I'll disagree and say
that he's also a strong writer.

Yes very nice complement made by Paul Price... who would have thought
centerpull brakes would be back on bikes (well some bikes)?  I spec'ed
the braze on Racers on my new Coho Randonneuse and down tube shifter
bosses ( hint for GP).
He also eloquently explains Grants' marketing genius, done with
minimal advertising except word of mouth, a few minor ads and
excellent sites such as this one and Jim's Cyclofiend site. I know
there are plenty of others players in this revolution but Grant is a
guiding force.

Now if only GP and Paul would get together and offer a set Hilsen
option with Paul Racer level braze ons.  The Hilsen and Racer Ms are a
match made in bike heaven.

Thanks for the link, btw.  Good and interesting interview.
