I've owned this Benotto for just under 20 years now. It was purchased at a bike shop in Kensington Market area, Toronto. The sales people did not have much info except to say it was a consignment.
The tubing is Columbus Air. The Campagnolo Super Record components seem to be 1981 era (crank has 170 strada with "1" inside a circle which means it was manufactured in 1981). It has a Cinelli Italia handle bar and NISI Moncalieri rims.
I believe all the components were new with the bike.
Research here and on other sites suggests that this is a 5000 Turbo, Italian made. Does anyone out there have any insights to share? I'd appreciate them.
