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?
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

Here are some not very good shots of the frame.
Any advice appreciated.
