1981 Benotto Modelo 1000 rebuilt...and sold in around 10 minutes!
I haven't been hanging around here too much lately, but I thought I'd share some photos of the 1981 Benotto Modelo 1000 that I picked up last year. I rebuilt the entire bike, including the pedals (
) and only replaced a few of the parts - brake cables and housing, the bar wrap and the toeclips.
Anyway, I sold the bike in about ten minutes flat. Enjoy...

I think that you may have let it go for too little.
