As noted, Miele was a well respeted Canadian brand with Italian heritage and styling. This one pre-dates the Procycle acquisition by about a decade, as it is circa 1990. The Gara was a mid-range model and in 1990 was 4th in a 10 model road line, with an MSRP of $875 US. It appears to be in very good condition and fairly priced for a Cromor and Shimano Ultegra bicycle. The tyres are wired-on, not tubulars. The only things that appear to be non-OEM are the pedals, which would replacements for the clipless Samapsons. Also, 56cm is an appropriate for an average proportioned male of 5'- 10". There's very little not to like, outside of the graphics, which may not be to everybody's taste. If you don't like them, more traditional Miele decals are readily available.
