Can anybody tell me something about this bike? A friend just wheeled it in and wants to know what it is worth. I checked online and came very short of any guess.

Probably from early 80's

Black with Grey on front of main triangle
Flash Modolo brakes
Campy shifters (not sure exactly what kind of campy)
Miche competition hubs with Benotto HR22 rims

If anybody knows anyting, let me know.

Hi Tim. I have a Modelo 850. It was Benotto's entry level road bike. Made in Mexico out of "Hi-Tensile Steel." They're nothing too special, but I love mine for commuting. I purchased mine for $175.
