Never hear of Gara before, but looks like it's a decent tubeset.

From that I would say it's something like Reynolds 501.

Gara's OK for a hack bike...
It's as stiff as anything else, but not exactly forgiving and not exactly light weight.
My Rossin is made of Gara and it's not a bike for long trips - but it makes a damn good fixie.
Beware possible weird seatpost size though. 26,8 I think.

Thanks for the answers guys. If nothing else, it least has a Campag seat pin, Cinelli stem & good UN51 BB. Odd thing is the only sort of serial No. I can find is the word 'panda' stamped in to the BB shell, along with 54, which makes sense at it measures up at 54CM square C to C.

still better than a slap in the face with a wet fish.
