We had a Berceau-frame Chiorda like that for years but I used it for something else right away, making an MTB (this was back in '83) for my then girlfriend (now wife). Got it as a frameset and pieced it together once I realized a 26x2.125 tire would fit the rear triangle. Used SA drum brakes and various bits to complete it, including a cruiser fork, BMX stem and MX bars. Pink and turquoise (her choice) paint and some braze-ons by Marinoni.


Also had a nifty 650B Helium velo de ville that someone gave us, but we had no space for it so I passed it along.


This little 500A Flandria was brought into the shop by a lady who wanted to fix it up for her grandson but decided she did not want to wait for tires to be found. She sold it to me instead. Turned out to be great wall hanger but a buddy of mine wanted to buy it for his nephew. I gave it to him.


That same buddy riding it. Don't know if the nephew ever got to.
