can anybody tell me what is the most likely date of production my
Benotto ?
Frame : columbus matrix
(almost the same colours as
http://www.bikecult.com/works/archive/04bicycles/benottoPGfv.JPG )
saddle: selle italia turbo
bars : italnamburi
equipment : complete shimano 600 group, 6 speed, downtube levers with
shimano 600 pedals and christophe toeclips
rims : for tires not tubulars

And the second question : is this bicycle made in Italy or Mexico ?

regards

Have you looked at the serial #? Many companies put the year @ the
beginning or end of the s/n.

Regards, John

Looks like a mid-eighties model.
Very nice.

well,
I have checked serial number and it says nothing about the year
(B73...bla bla).
I am pretty sure that my benotto comes from 1988. It has ITALMANUBRI 44
cm
bars, model europa superracing - as I checked here
http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings/components.php?type=roadhandlebars

bars comes from 1988.

I have never seen such a bike: Road-Track, 50-50 (lest my eyes fail).
