Will anyone show up on a classic Benotto, like the one being prepped by the Sanson team mechanic at the start of the 1976 classic film "A Sunday in Hell"? The team of Francesco Moser and Danish star Ole Ritter rode these bikes. A few years later, so did 1984 Olympian Rebecca Twigg.
Velo Classique in Purcellville still sells the iconic Benotto "cellotape". Back in the mid/late 1980s, Mel Pinto's shop sold rolls for 89 cents each and you could afford to change it out every week in different colors (which I did often!).
