A few years ago there was a Masi frame on ebay that had the seat lug filed as that one is only more so, which I consider a tribute to Albert Eisentraut.
There are not too many of these as stated. There is no "James Dean" parallel here so the prices will not Match a Confente, but a Wizard would be a good addition to a California Masi and Related Bike Collection. You could start with a Carlesbad Masi, a Wizard, a Medici, a Confente, Eisentraut, Lippy, Roberson, Tesch, American Moulton, Starck, And I might be leaving one out. Not a cheap collection to acquire though.
