Benotto Pista

Nice build!

Saw a bennotto 3000 (?) track frameset up for sale in that shop in Hackney Wick, but the price he has on the ticket is actually only 1/4 of what he wants for it, which is erm, weird.
But yeah they are a lush colour

That is a 3000, it used to be mine...Diamond chain stays, chrome benotto track forks and rear triangle, it's fucking loooong story...I so didn't wat to part with it...F*ckery...I haven't seen another 3000 track frame...Benotto track frames are few and far between...and 3000's insanely rare...so I'm fucking loving this build...I think this is a 2700..or thereabouts...I've seen a track frame that was special order or similar, he'd bougth it from a team member...and also, one of the dutch 'Maestro's' that owns quiet a few merckx bikes, has a molteni orange merckx with diamond stays...which he thought was made for Eddie maybe by benotto...?
anyhow...Chapeau...and much envy...;D...nice envy tho...not green eyed...
Every time I see champagne Bennies I'm 12 years old...watching the hell of the north with my cousins on VHS...that when the love affair started, that about the same time I saw my Joe Waugh too...
The guy round the corner from my mom had just had that and his Woodrup built for him...I wish I had bought the woodie too..its was also 653 tho made the Joe feel like lead...
