Old GARDIN
My buddy got this old GARDIN at a garage sale today for the whopping cost of $10.00 Canadian. It has mostly Campagnolo Gran Sport components although the handlebar and brake levers have ben changed out.
Perhaps T-Mar can identify this bike and the year it was made?
I believe the shifters are the first generation Campagnolo Syncro levers. How do you switch to friction mode with those?
Pursuit bars with Non-aero Shimano 105 brake levers.
Cheers

What a great score. That decal scheme used in the early 80's, which likely fits with the NGS group. The component date codes should get you close.
My Gardin had an '85 Reynolds Anniversary sticker.

I place this closer to mid-1980s, as the very early ones used different graphics.

NICE bike. I had a GARDIN pantographed stem and can now see it was likely on a very fine frame.
