I've been stopping by to see Ed since the 80's when he and Albert where together in Oakland. I built a couple of frames for myself at their shop in the early 90's and Ed painted them - Maximum Mojo - Eisentraut's jigs and torches!

Over the years Ed has painted several frames for me and I've bought a number of old frames from him that he had in those stacks of boxes "upstairs".

Two years ago to the day, I stopped in to see Ed. He'd just pulled this frame out of his upstairs stash and it was hanging on the wall. We'd been talking about him building a frame for me for years. It was my exact size so I bought it instead.



July last year, I ordered a new custom road frame from Ed, like this Della Santa track frame. Last week, he said I was number 3 in line!
