Howdy, All-

Here is the link to pics of the 50's Chiorda that I unearthed at work-http://www.flickr.com/photos/54878462@N00/. The pics are at the lower part of the page...

Wheels are not original, so they are not shown- the half-step Agrati crank & the Campy Sports single-pulley rear derailleur tell me that a 3- or 4-speed close ratio freewheel was probably the original spec, so I am looking for tips about about what would have been originally installed on this bike. It appears to be a mid-range model; would it have come with tubulars? QRs, or wing-nuts?...

The paint & decals are in unusually good condition; chrome is so-so. Anybody want to trade for a set of the Vittoria brake lever hoods shown in the pics? I'd also like to find some Sheffield pedals, and an appropriate seatpost....

You will be able to see this bike (and several other works-in-progress), as well as many other vintage rides & parts, at the NAHBS/CR party & show, hosted by The Recyclery. This all takes place Feb. 9th, 7pm-?. If you have not RSVP'd yet, please do so...we need to know how many kegs to order! Bring lots of $ :-), and/or stuff to trade....we look forward to seeing you!
