Want to solicit "The List's" input on how to equip a 1981 Eisentraut.
After all the discussion about lugs, this is a beautifully filet brazed frame with stylish Eisentraut BB shell and interesting sort-of Legnano-style seat pin bolt. Per Ed Litton, each bolt was machined custom.

Here's the concept: I want to equip it with period 1981 USA made (or brand) compoents or French. No Italian, no British, just USA and French. I also want super light weitht and some annodized components gold, red or black.
For USA I've got Specialized stuff (HS, bar/stem, beautiful cranks, pedals) - USA brand, but not made. I've got Phil (Hubs, CHP pedals). I've got a pair of Weyless hubs.
French is easier - Huret Jubilee, Simplex shift levers, gold Mavic stem with French Milremo bars, Velox plugs.
Difficult stuff is saddle, seat post, brakes (must be sidepull). What do you suggest? -- John Siemsen San Luis Obispo, CA
