Garelli gran tourismo

[pkh1974]

I just picked up this garelli gran tourismo 12 speed. I can't find any information about this bike so I figured someone on this site would probably know. It looks to be a quality bike with nice components.
The only information I could find on this company is that they made motorcycles. No info found on bikes. If anyone knows about when this was made and how common or desirable it is let me know. It will probably be sold at some point.

probably from the early 80's. by 1984 bikes stated showing up with "aero" brake cables where they are under the bar tape.I know Centurion bikes had friction shifting up to 1983, and index shifting after that. so if it has friction shift, that would date it.

Try reposting on the "vintage lightweight bicycle" page, some very knowledgeable people hang out there.
