Benotto Frame
I don't know anything about this except I want it out of my basement. $40 SOLD + shipping of $25/35/45 West/middle/East Coast.
Specs: 55 square, Italian, 125mm, 1" and 26.4 (I think).
A whole bunch of photos in this thread:

interesting! I wonder if @WolfRyder would consider this for the "aero" Shimano AX gruppo? Any sign of front-end collision or just a fork that got lost?

Hi,
The frame that you have was made in Mexico....you can google search Benotto Mexico to get more information about it.
I have one that is waiting for a build, just trying to decide what I want to hang on it.
Good luck with the search.

OP, how long is the head tube on that frame? I have access to a rough chromed Benotto fork.

Hey, I'm interested. Have a fork that'll probably work too. Always been curious about that brand. Pm incoming.

FYI-After some searching, it appears to be the "Triathlon" model. From what I can gather it was likely the only Benotto model with ovalized tubing, external cable routing and no specific tubing identification sticker. Evidently some type of Hi-10 steel frame made in the late '80's. Missing a top tube model decal based on most other similar frame pics. Interested in seeing how it rides once I build it up. Thanks @gartenmiester.
