The latest project. A 1947 Benetto. I have because it has cambio corsa and because that is possibly the worst gear changing system ever conceived it is therefore something I find interesting.
Spec 58 cm frame
Speed Campagnolo Cambio Corsa gearing system
4 speed Campy Corsa rear hub and freewheel, FB front hub , Fiamme 700c Rims
Universal model 51 brake calipers
Brooks professional saddle & seat clamp
Steel stem and bars (I’m awaiting a correct stem expander bolt)
Nice crankset - Magistroni style but no discernible markings
Bertola brake levers (Argentinian)
Georgia head set (Argentina - Campy copy)
Visson front skewer (Argentina - Campy copy)
The tyres will be replaced by dugast strada possibly.
What I do need is an Italian quill.stem from the 40s. This stem does not clamp and I'm not sure I like it much.
Various jobs to do but nothing major. Look at the clearance it has. Its gravel bike.
