A quick search yielded this: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...rdin-Road-Bike
From the knowledgeable T-Mar:
"The bicycle in question appears to be a Gardin Loria, circa 1987-1989. Gardin was a small, reputable, Canadian firm that produced competition oriented bicycles. Tubing is probably Columbus Matrix or Cromor, which was typical for this range. Price will depend on mechanical and cosmertic condition and the local market. Original price would have been around $600 US. The bicycle should make an excellent candidate for your anticipated rides, provided it is has not been damaged or worn out."
The small size is a big bonus. The components are mid-range (more 105 parts than tricolor it seems). Not an Italian brand but it does have Italian tubing. Emphasize this along with nice pictures and you might bring in $275-$325 depending on the weather and where you are located at.
