Can anyone on the list verify that Albert Eisentraut once worked for "Velo Sport" of Berkeley, CA? This would be after he lived in Chicago--(as per the CR list archives) and before the "Bicycle Ensemble" (1959 to present.)

Reason I ask is because I was in Velo Sport not too long ago and saw what I thought was an old Carlton frame hanging on a hook. I asked a guy at the counter if the frame was indeed a Carlton and if it was for sale. He said that particular frame was the very first frame Albert Eisentraut had ever built and that it was built there on location in the late 50's.................
