My Benotto was a Mexican Italian, Pista Modelo 1700. After buying it I researched it and found loads of horror stories about a fault in the seattube above the BB during to too much heat in the building. However rode it until killing it by crashing it without the seattube exploding. I will own a champagne Benotto again, preferably a Modelo 2700 Pista.
I remember your project. Too bad it chrashed.
Did you find a good source for identifying and dating Benottos?
Mine don't have a frame number and lacks the heart cut out under the bb, so I guess pre Mexico, but I have no way to back that up.
