A mystery frame recently came into our shop which we need help identifying. It appears to have been repainted so no decals are evident anywhere. The only obvious features are the cutout spades in the lugs and campagnolo horizontal dropouts. It has a campy headset and a mix of Shimambo drivetrain parts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The shop I work for is a non-profit organization. All our bikes have been donated to us. We refurbish and sell them to help fund programs for low income kids and adults in the Portland, OR area. It would be helpful to know how valuable this frameset is.

It looks like a Eisentraut "Limited" model made in 1975.
