I'm selling this lovely frame/fork on ebay right now. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask. It's a sweet one. I was going to have it restored to as-original condition, but too many projects call, and if I'm ever gonna get to them all, some have to move on to others.
My interest tends toward rare stuff. And as far as I can tell, this Chiorda frame/fork is *very* rare. This is the only one I've seen in the flesh. The one on Dale's site was actually offered to me for sale many years ago. We failed to reach a deal, the owner kept it, far as I know, and the pics ended up on the classicrendezvous site. I'm guessing there aren't many of these around at all.

for how the frame looked when original. That candy-blue is hard to beat.
The reserve on this frame is reasonable; someone will end up with a sweet deal.
Good luck!
