Hmmmmmm, that is very interesting Bianchigirl, I have seen some bikes up here in Toronto that have the Battaglin pantographs in the lugs but have been decal'd as a Gardin. Maybe Gardin got a bunch of tubes and lugs cheap from Battaglin and assembled them here? Or maybe Gardin could have purchased the entire frame and just painted and decal'd them however they wanted.
Regardless, here is my Battaglin.
The colour scheme is from Steve Roche's triple-winning Battaglin and I guess the company figured it would be smart to copy it for all of their models that year.
Roche had an incredible year in 1987:
Giro d'Italia (1987) - Stephen Roche
Tour de France (1987) - Stephen Roche
World Championships - Road (1987) - Stephen Roche
