Jimmy-

Pedals were primarily steel with strap loops, yellow binda straps, reduced in length slightly and the ends doubled over and a rivet similar to what a cobbler might have access to as seen on womens purses and mens belts.

Waterbottle cage was TA chromed steel, waterbottle was ALE with Masi Gran Criterium graphics

I have seen those pntographed parts in a partial or complete set on bikes, my original one had the cut out levers, nothing else.

Most of the bikes that had 3ttt bars & stem also had a 3ttt M stamped saddle, but not all, Cinelli #2 Suede also showed up.

Tires would be Clement Criterium Setas, most often 250gr with mixed tread.

The Benotto tape job would have been a later owner preference thing, original would be Tressostar with Hunt-Wilde white plastic plugs.

A Styling bike.
