Gardin Touring Bike info?
Bought this bike yesterday.. It is in really good shape. Has Exage 300LX derailleurs and 200cx brakes. It also has bar end shifters which I really like! The paint is clean and Gardin is stamped near seat post. It's a 21 speed bike.

The subject bicycle is a circa 1992 Gardin Tour. I've also seen them with 400CX, 500CX and 700CX components. The bar cons are OEM. Tubing was Gardin branded CrMo DB. Probably Tange Infinity or equivalent given the era and level. Good buy at $100 US. Enjoy your new acquisition.

Do not know much about Gardin...but...nice looking and, for $100, a good deal. If it does not ride the way you want (btw...saddle is hideous!)...then you can easily get your money back...
