BG did in fact work with Eisentraut. Not sure when he went off on his own.
According to http://velospace.org/node/25288 :
"The Limited was conceived as a lower-cost, more complete alternative
to the Eisentraut No. 1. Production began in 1975 in the hands of
Bruce Gordon, who opened shop on his own a year or so later."

This popped up on the CL in the SF North Bay. I'm glad it is too
small for me, as I would be trying to figure out how to rationalize
another bike. I don't think it's a screamingly great deal, but it is
fairly priced. It's an Eisentraut "Limited" model:

For folks who haven't heard of Albert Eisentraut, the most common
phrase which comes up with him on a search is "godfather of american
framebuilders" I would not normally put a non-RBW model listing
here, but this one, from this builder, is worth a look - if nothing
else to see work from someone who begat those who begat those who
currently craft quality frames here in the States.
