Well it’s definitely one it literally has benotto stamped on the dropouts, and benotto on the seatstay caps. Yes the fork crown is wrong (it’s actually a Reynolds fork…) so not original. Lugs are exactly the same as the model I was thinking of. The bb was used by benotto I attached a link to an eBay listing with the same bb shell. As I said there is a likelyhood this was stolen as the benotto logo has been ground off and you can barely see the “to”. And I never said it was earlier than 80s
Sure it’s not the £2000+ benotto exotica but it’s still a benotto. Even in the very low likelyhood that it isn’t it’s still not a Friday afternoon job, and it’s damn close. So I’m going to carry on.
Did you even read the thread?…
And what’s this about upside down brake bridges?
Anyway I’m no expert, but I don’t see why someone would go through the effort of replicating one of these. It even has a serial number.
