If the fork decal is correct, then the fork is a replacement (not sure why i didn't notice this before). This affects value, as a) it's non-original and b) it makes potential buyers suspect the bike has been crashed at some point. The Mavic parts are an odd match for a Benotto, but they do have some value - of course it's not all Mavic. Frame is late 70's/early 80's. Hard to tell if it was made in Mexico or Italy; my guess would be Mexico. It's an upper-level frame, i.e. a 3000, given that it is made with SL - aside from whatever happened to the original fork. Given the questionable fork, the mix of parts, and the overall condition, I'd place the value in the $250-350 range, assuming there isn't more crash evidence.
