Benotto 3000
Hi all,
I just finished restoring a Benotto 3000. I think it is late 70's frame.
Anyway, just wanted to share it.
Here are some more detailed photo's:

What a stunning bicycle. Good job. I really like old Benottos. A friend of mine has a full Super Record fitted 3000, in excellent condition, except for one large dent in the down tube. I should call him up and offer to try my frame blocks on his bike to see if we can improve the appearance, if nothing else. This guy, by the way, purchased two Campy 50th grouppos, has both to this day and both are still in the original unopened containers.

Cables are a bit long - I will shorten them up this week.
Unfortunately the decals and paint aren't original. I found this frame in a guys shed in the Netherlands - I have attached a photo of what it looked like when I got it.

Nice job, love the ribbon tape. Now I know what to do with my purchase of a 1972 Olmo with 7 speed Shimano Dura-Ace and early 70's 531 Allegro race bike.
