Found a Gardin road bike with Campangolo components.
First time ever hearing about a Gardin. Not sure what's suppose to be high end or low end but by all I've been looking around, Gardin was pretty well respected for his craftsman's ship towards his frames. I don't know much about this frame though. The cursive font is only found on track frames. I'll look more into it.

funny that the panto in the headlug looks very similar to Bataglin's "man on bike" logo...maybe not exactly but pretty close. Would bear some more research and comparison...Joe Gardin was known to have had some frames built for him by various Italian builders as well as making them in Canada by "imported" craftsman/men.
OTOH, I think most Bataglins were contract-built as well, and I think by the same guys who made frames for Ciocc, Conti, Concorde, Guerciotti...
