For the guy asking about Eisentraut Limiteds, yes they came with Nervex l ugs at points, also there where *three* versions, a touring with dropou t eyelets (my version), there was a regular road version, and a crit ty pe with Campag. verticals!

I had my choice when they came into Stan's Cyclery in Cupertino in early '7 7 after recovering from the tramua of having my Windsor Pro ('72 model in w hite...) stolen out of my garage...

I liked the vertical dropout version but the wheelbase was about 38 if I re call correctly and it was PURPLE, I went with the 41" wheelbase touring m odel in a cool dark gray... still have it, picts on my wooljersey page (s earch my name on there) although it was repainted by Cyclart in mid-90's. I think I may have it redone one more time back to stock.

No headtube decals also set "trauts apart and the wild-colored "A" frames!

Don't forget to see the Bicycling roadtest of the Limited from (I think) Ap r 1976!
