i'm beginning to suspect that the universe is conspiring on my behalf
the albert eisentraut came up for sale and it is plenty used, but its in my size and price range
i had all the parts, except bottom bracket, to build it out; including old campy hubs and derailleur which probably would have come with this bike
i'm hoping for a bit of warm weather so i can try it on a nice long ride
