Text descriptions of your fixie!
Paid for and picked up my used Albert Eisentraut frame today. The serial number on the bottom bracket sez: E051274 which I believe to be the date of manufacture more than anything.
I was informed by an awesome member of the awesome staff that some elder racing guy came in and checked out the frame and commented on how even though Eisentraut was real good at doing braze-ons, this frame was remarkably free of them. There is one on the drive-side chainstay near the dropouts.
The Campy 1010 drop outs.
Wish I had a camera to share images of this frame.
I'm very excited.

It's a shame that surly already took the name 'steamroller', because that's what my current fixed ride pretty much is. 26x2.1" slicks, 38x15, cantis and riser bars. It feels unstoppable once I get it rolling, and it pretty much laughs at curbs and potholes.
God, I love this bike.
