    Boot sale find benotto 2500: gravelly buildy thingy

    I'm only trying to be helpful here. Yes I did read the thread. All of it. Only saw pictures of the yellow seat stay caps and dropouts covered by wheel skewer so not helpful really. If you stripped the paint and revealed a Benotto logo fine. But there's some inconsistencies here. The brake bridge...

    Boot sale find benotto 2500: gravelly buildy thingy

    And what's with the upside down rear brake bridge? Looks like a cinelli cast design - very late 80's also never used by Benotto - someone has fitted it upside down. Looks like a Friday afternoon job lol.

    Boot sale find benotto 2500: gravelly buildy thingy

    This isn't a Benotto I'm afraid. I have 7. They all have Benotto (either proud, or recessed in the oval) on the seatstay caps - right down to 800. Lugs aren't right. Fork crown is way off. BB shell isn't a Cinelli. (it is Italian threading though) and under BB guides only came out in very early...

    Behind the scenes at the Giro d'Italia with Campagnolo

    Hi Augustus, great pics! And hi to any other Campagnolo fans out there. You might be interested in my new project, a faithful recreation of the 1984 Giro d'Italia Campagnolo service car. A bit of a childhood dream to be honest - I mean who doesn't love a cycling team car - finally realised. More...

    MKM Track frame

    MKM Ultimate track frame Who mentioned 753? I seriously doubt it too, I thought they used mainly 531 DB and sometimes 531 SL in the other tubes except the DT which would make sense due to the higher ST/DT joint around where the tube walls get thinner. Old Ned, you seem to be knowledgable...

    MKM Track frame

    MKM Ultimate I'm the lucky winner. A bargain if I may say. Will post pics once it has been resprayed and brought back to some semblence of it's best. Used to have an MKM 531 superlight back in the day (bought in '81 I think from a bike shop in Bury) It was an old customer order which hadn't...
