Just an additional note on Eisentraut frames. I am lucky to have two:
A 1972 61cm frame bought at Missing Link on the UC Berkeley campus.
A 2007 59cm frame with an Eisentraut stem just delivered.
A new frame every 35 years whether I need it or not...
I also have 2 Eisentraut "cousins" in the sense that I took one of his first framebuilding classes (along with Bruce Gordon) in May of 1974 so the two frames I built afterwards are related in some little way. These were built in the late 70s.
You can see these three older bikes at:
