Hi there.
So I bought a Benotto frame last year which I'll be restoring soon. However I can't find any info about which model it is. It looks like an Aero (Oval profiled tubes) and initially thought it was a model 5000, but mine has a ducted brake cable on the top tube and the 5000's I've seen don't, though some have ducted rear derailleur cables. The 2500's do have ducted rear brake cables (I think) but the cabling enters on the top front and exits rear on the side. Mine is side to side if that makes sense.
So confused.
Bottom bracket looks unlike other Benotto's I've seen as well. Info on Benotto's seems strangely hard to find or verify. Eg; are the Mexican made frames inherently dodgy?
Here are some not very good shots of the frame.
Any advice appreciated.
