A buddy of mine has always wanted an Eisentraut, I passed a note to him pointing out the auction, and he thinks it's a fake. Exactly why I'm not clear. Anyone have an opinion? I know nothing about Eisentrauts so I wouldn't venture an opinion either way. I'd agree the bike looks like early 80's to me as well (from the bad photos).
Thoughts?
