I have this early 70's benotto frame for sale.

Looks like the early model 2500 with chrome lugs, as seen in the benotto catalog on the Bulgier catalog list.
http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/benotto1/

But this example has full chrome rear stays/forks and is made with the rare Ishiwata 022 Double-butted Crmo tubing instead of the Columbus tubing advertised in the catalog.

On the top tube there is a decal witch says special. On the other side is the ishiwata 022 decal. On the down tube it says made in Italy.
Underneath the BB there are the numbers 37 and 53(frame size) stamped

Has Campagnolo dropouts and comes with a Zeus headset and Shimano BB (Italian threads)

Interesting frame, unusual color scheme. haven't seen one before.

Frame has no dents, only some rough spots on the paintwork/decals
Chrome 8/10
Paint 7/10
decals 6/10

Measurements are:
Toptube : 53 cm (c-t)
Seattube: 53.5 cm (c-c)
Rear spacing: 126mm

Hi,

That's a bit confusing... is it the other way around?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
