I have owned several Gardin bicycles, over the years. Some, like this drop dead gorgeous
1983 Gardin Special, were very well made and rode very well.
However, Gardin, their predecessor being Cambio Rino, bicycles were known for wide quality swings. Some were great and some were not. A quick look at the pictures and this one looks like it does not fit into the great category.
That does not mean that the bicycle is not a worthy project and ride, once built. On the contrary, I have never owned a
mid level to high end Gardin that I did not like.
The low end ones, however, are another story...
