Bob,
Thanks for posting the photos. I had my '73 Eisentraut at Cirque, and it was interesting to compare the differences between this one and mine, especially since mine was made only 4 months later. Mine is a track frame, but that doesn't really explain the differences. Mine also has the fastback seat stays, but it's more finished in appearance. There's a link below to a few photos of the seat stays and fork crown that Tim took at the Cirque. Mine also has an entirely different crown, which was apparently modified a bit to accomodate the round track fork blades.

Interesting Eisentraut that is hanging up at Ed Littons. 1973 is not the earliest one he built (1959) but is certainly the oldest one anyone has seen around here.
Note fastback stay treatment, a far cry from his later version ( the version most of his frame class grads used/still use) Also note heavily file fork crown. Usual well filed lug work
