Vintage Benotto but what model/year?
Hi everyone!
I have a lovely bike and I really would like to get it back to its original state. Unfortunately I can't tell what model it is. It don't has original parts/colour anymore. I have some snapshots of partst I think might help identifying it.
Is there anyone who can help me figuring out?
Many thanks
Mel

Serial number off of the BB may help. A picture of the BB would be beneficial as well. Any pictures of the head tube and other lugs?

head tube & BB
Thanks for this quick answer! the bike is very badly painted (and dirty). Hope the additional images help in any way.
The number is very difficult to read but I think it says B4 68.
Thanks so much

start with https://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/
This will give you an idea of the levels of Benotto, but your's is newer than the catalogs...I'd guess early 80's based on parts.
