BEFORE

This was my third Benotto 850.  Someone had tried to update it to a more modern Campagnolo groupset and wheels, which was admirable, but it just wasn't working for me.  I decided that I'd use the shifter/brake combos and the rear derailleur on my MBW shop bike and since I had a complete Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset, I'd return it to it's more original glory.
