Eisentraut had dies made to stamp the spade shaped cutouts into the lugs with a small punch press.

There are a lot of stories about the origin of the Limited series frames. One credits a collaboration between Albert Eisentraut and Georgetown Cycle and Sport in Washington, DC (GCS).

Eisentraut was selling his frames through them in the mid 70's and came up with the "semi-production" Limited model. He also produced some frames with Alpine decals which was one of the GCS house brands. Here's a Limited frame with Alpine decals.




I see you have a Stone's Cyclery sticker on you frame. Several different style 'trauts went through the shop in the past few years before Dennis passed away last summer.

I remember a white Rainbow plus this lugless KOF in Molteni colors built in 2011. (that's my Holdsworth in the background)



According to Dennis the frame was built mostly by Albert Eisentraut's son.
