1986 Classic Benotto Road Bike
Hi all,
I am new to the forums, but I am a keen rider. I am specifically posting to enquire about the bicycle mentioned in the title. I'd like a road bike to ride nearly on a daily basis, something similar to this. This bike is essentially original and has campagnolo group set and basically is all original.
What i'd like to know is what would be a good price to pay for it, and possibly any background information on it.
Cheers,
Larry

$1 is always a good price. Beyond that, pics and/or a much better description are necessary to be of any help whatsoever.

Wasn't there the whole worry over mid-80's Mexican produced Benotto breaking in the seattube/BB area?

Apparently it is italian made, but that is what i needed some clarification on. There was a thread that queried whether some of those 80's benotto bikes where mexicn made, but apparently this one is italian made. As for further information on it i'd be glad to provide it but unfortunately don't know much myself, other than what is mentioned.
