Benotto - Benotto vintage road - Bicycle - 1980

Benotto Model 3000 (1980) – Extremely Rare Out-of-Series "Giant" Size 67 Splendid and exceptional example of Benotto Model 3000 dating from around 1980, a true "unicorn" for collectors and enthusiasts of heroic cycling. The frame is a special off-series project crafted by hand in Italy, characterized by an extraordinary giant size of 67 cm (seat tube length), originally intended for athletes or amateurs of exceptional stature (over 1.95m - 2.00m). Identification details and historical specifications: * Frame number: Original stamp on the bottom bracket shell in the rare handcrafted format 1-4001 (where the isolated 1 identifies the special/custom batch and 4001 the serial order). * Cable routing: Internal cable routing (under the bottom bracket), introduced by Benotto starting from the late 1979. * Fork: Original high-end fork crown with unmistakable pantograph: central letter "B" and the characteristic three round lobes ("apples") of Benotto. * Tubing: Originally built with reinforced Columbus SP tubes (seat post diameter measured at 27.0 mm), an indispensable technical choice of the era to guarantee maximum rigidity and structural stability for a frame of these dimensions. * Condition and setup: Original champagne finish. Equipped with a Campagnolo Super Record groupset of the era. A piece of the history of Italian bicycle manufacturing, ideal for static collecting, display, or for tall cycling enthusiasts and lovers of vintage bikes. Available for tracked shipping with professional packaging worldwide (shipping costs borne by the buyer) or local pickup in the Pistoia area.
