My top-3 reflect growing up in the SF/SJ Bay Area and hanging out at Spence Wolf's shop I'm sure...
1) A lugged Eisentraut (nothing better ever made, the signature IS art alone!) 2) A Singer Touring bike (silver looked better than black...) 3) A pre-California Masi
All Campagnolo Nuovo Record with Phil Wood hubs and BB only on the first two, all NR on the Masi.
I'm also certain that Mario would be TIGing like Albert Eisentraut (although Eisentraut will do ANY kind of frame these days so that he can maintain a business, how can you knock that... after 42 years??) just to sell frames if he were still with us...
