Benotto bikes were originally made in Italy. Benotto is a firm with a long tradition of making very good quality bikes. Production moved to Mexico, with a few, upper-level bikes still being made in Italy. This happened sometime in the 70's-80's, but it's never been entirely clear to me when the shift in production was made.
