Benotto Pista

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...

Aye saw it, and saw £150 dangling off it and got a slight boner, turns out he actually wants £600 for it, which its probably worth, but more to someone who understands what they are about and appreciates, vs. the average east end fixie skidder, yeah maybe not ideal for them, and sacrilege, poor frame!
