I have been looking for a frame for a while to add to the Merckx, something nice but not too flash as it will get built to be a daily rider, for training etc and generally cruising about in the crap weather. To save the Merckx.
I found two frames which take my fancy, one is a Benotto SLX from the early nineties, the other is an Olmo competition special from late 70's/early eighties.
I dont have any pics at the moment but just wondered peoples opinions on both brands/models and/or any advice. Both bikes are solid but a bit rough. Olmo is black and the Benotto is a fancy but rough paint work.
Will post pics later when I get a couple I can use.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Its vague I know, but it will do for now.
