I have a ~1980 Gardin (Canadian brand but built in Italy for sure) That also has a pantographed headtube, and top tube. It's for sale btw, see my post a few days ago.
Anyway, what a shame that this seller will only do local pickup, I'd pay a good bit more than the auction is currently at. Who knows what it will go for in the end, but if there was a CR member in Germany who'd be interested in helping....
I'm dreaming... :-|
