Seeing as these are all Canadian bikes, I am going to bring in the expert T-Mar for some thoughts on these bikes. I've done a bit of research on each bike and it seems they are all short lived CDN bike companies during the 80's bike boom. That Gardin bike looks attractive though and wondering if that's worth picking up? I read an earlier post from a rider on the CDN racing team who rode Gardin bikes and had some interesting things to say. I'm always interested in supporting the history of CDN biking, as limited as it is.
