Chris was showing me some pictures. One of them was when he won the US

 He worked at the bike shop in Palo Alto when he got back from
Europe the first time. His memory is that it wasn't Tom Ritchey who
actually built the replacement frames for Jobst but Peter (?), the shop
manager at Palo Alto. Exactly how that all went about is anyone's guess
since Peter died recently.

Peter Rich?

Since I knew all three men, my opinion is, that's not what happened.
Mr Ritchey rebuilt Mr Brandt's custom Cinelli and later built a replacement and several more after.
