$750 · Benotto Campione D'Italia

A beautiful Benotto Modelo 3000 Campione D'Italia. The same model raced by Francisco Moser, Roger De Vlaeminck, and Frederick Maertens to legendary status as World Champions. Columbus SL tubing. Handbuilt by De Rosa in Italy for Benotto with finely hand-filed lugs. This one is about an '84. 57cm top tube; 58cm seat tube. A gorgeous 'Eroica bike. Rides like a missile! It is quick and nimble. This one has a lovely Mondrian-style paint job - not unlike the Rossin Gibli. Custom decals. The hallmark diamond-profile chain stays of a De Rosa built Benotto. Stronglight cranks pantographs Benotto, C-Record Campagnolo Chorus throughout. Brake cables mounted upside-down "Saronni style". The wheels themselves are worth over half the asking price. $750 for pick up in Langford. Will consider a Mies Barcelona daybed, or a Corbusier Chaise, or an Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in trade or partial trade.
