For Sale: 80's Benotto Modolo 2500, Columbus/Shimano 600 56cm ST 55cm TT. Yum.

Hello,

Definitely loving living in Holland... Beautiful bikes abound. I'm mostly looking for myself but any sales i make here will go a small way to compensating for the fact i had my art project funding cut 2 days before i left, and I will make a donation to forum also. If anyone sees something in the rotterdam area they might want picked up on their behalf get in touch and we could sort something out also (bear in mind I don't have a car!)

For your riding pleasure here is a fully original Benotto Modolo 2500-second only to the modolo 3000 in their catalogue of the time and definitely very nice.

Full shimano 600 6 speed indexed groupset, cinelli bar/stem, nice turbo saddle, chrome fork with benotto pantograph crown, panto'd stays and dropouts, heart cut-out on bottom bracket and very nice Columbus tubing. Looks like original pads and the Benotto branded rims have barely any wear so looks like it has only seen minor use before being stored. All makes for a light, very responsive and classy vintage ride!

Paint overall is very good-some small chips as you would expect and rubs on decals but still sound and not much by way of patina anywhere... good to ride.

£withdrawn (from Holland), paypal gift please. Bike will need some disassembly for packing but will be packed secure and with tracking. Additional insurance up to you but will be extra.

Thanks!

very nice, if you can't sell the whole thing I'd take the wheels and fork. Obv. would prefer to see this go as a package :)

Don't have much time or space for splitting tbh, and it's a lovely bike for someone. If I come accross a spare fork i'll let you know though. You should see the Duell I'm listing too... gorgeous bike for someone.

yeah mainly just want it to go on my benotto :)

price drop to £420 for this spritely italian steed. neigh.

Very nice indeed!

No Benotto love!? surprised.

Price dropped...

£350 +post?

I have exactly the same bike in near new condition.

It's one the best color combinations benotto ever made imho.

All the decals all over the bike including the rims is a true eyepopper.

Good luck.

cheers mate!

now £350 posted for this retro eyepopper

£340 posted. s'bargainous.

Lovely stuff. Come on people.

Well fuck me with a donkey dick. Still no takers? I leave London for a month and recumbents are suddenly the thing to ride in London or what?!

£330 posted... please buy it or I'm going to weep uncontrollably and make you all feel bad for a few seconds.

i took this for a ride yesterday... 'tis really lovely. will take very near offers but shirly the price is good for a vintage italian steed in columbus and original condition?

Well, I don't know about the rest but I think 290 for a Benotto 2500 is a steal. Have seen some 800's on Marktplaats for 150-200 Euros but....
Good luck with the sale.

What??? Maybe so cheap people can't believe it. Try doubling the price.

fuckit. taking it to Ebay... hate giving them money but needs must.

withdrawn from sales here peoples

nice
