ALPINE built up with Shimano 600

For a few years, I had a 49 cm steel bike which had a fillet brazed top tube/down tube joint with lugged joints everywhere else. Seller got the bare frame/fork from a shop in Washington DC that sold a custom frame built to their specs under the "ALPINE" logo. It also had an "Eisentraut::Oakland" decal on the seat tube, but in correspondence, Albert said he built less than 12 for the shop, but none with fillet brazing combined with lugs, didn't know who built it. Saved the bike for a young grand daughter, but she had a growth spurt, so I traded for something that fit me. It qualifies as unlike any other I have seen, so here's some pics. Don
