What a great man and what great storytelling. Thank you for sharing.

I happen to have an Eisentraut ‘Limited’ of similar vintage. I bought it off of a retired aerospace engineer a decade ago. It's equipped with the same classic Campagnola and while the frame is a little tall for me I still get great pleasure in riding it around town. It is beautifully made, very light, and a piece of art.

Not mentioned in the story but Albert Eisentraut was building his bicycles in Oakland.
