Ouch! Just seeiing that makes me cringe...looks exactly like my break - exact same location.

It didn't matter which tubing...


Nice 5000 Gary...gotta love how the shifters were positioned. It always looked unusual but very cool.

Interestingly, Rossin also had a bike in this time period that was very much the same as the Benotto 5000SL. Same dimple in the seat tube, same Columbus ovalized tubing...don't remember if the rear derailleur cable was internel all the way through to the rear derailleur.

Someone awhile back was trying to sell a broken one on eBay.
