Thanks. I found the gold one abandoned in a local bike mechanics workshop loft. It had been his bike but he’d not used it for years. It had obviously had a bad respray so I stripped it back to bare metal, respoked and renewed the tyres and hubs, new cables with vintage look tubes, refurbed all the Suntour VX running gear and new Benotto tape and Concor sadddle. Problem is it’s too big for me and I’ll be lucky if I break even financially, never mind the days I spent stripping paint etc.
It was, as they say, a labour of love.
Love the Benottos
