Subject: [CR]eisentraut A frame paint colors..

recently I was lucky enough to acquire a very nice early 70s Eisentraut A frame (you know who you are..thanks!). I'm going to have it restored to as-original condition.. since it was repainted and numerous braze-ons added at some point in its life.

I've asked this question of the list before, but it's been long enough I thought I'd ask again.

I know Eisentraut would paint a frame any color in the Imron books...but what colors are most closely associated with these frames? Those of you who were paying attention back in the '70s (I know, tall order, but still), when you saw an Eisentraut A frame, what colors just said "Eisentraut?"

I know there was an imron orange that was nice. Also certain soft metallics like red and silver and blue. Also the imron Celeste-flavor, and a metallic purple were all associated with the frames.

I'd like to have the frame painted in a color that just says "Eisentraut" even before you notice the dt graphic. all suggestions welcome.

thanks!
