Grant Petersen of Rivendell designed bikes for Bridgestone US until Bridgestone Japan pulled the plug on the domestic branch. The RB-1 and XO's are two models that have achieved a cult-like following in the US.

I took some hints from the XO and mounted my Cinelli Priest bars onto the RB-1. Now all I need is a rack and it's ready to pick up cases of Budweiser!

Some more pics here on my Flickr.
