All,

As Dale and another noted - this topic is a horse whose skeleton was supposedly

laid to rest.

Furthermore - simple search for "Benotto" at http://www.bikeforums.net will dig up a couple threads involving yours truly - including material that is discomforting

Suggest you follow the suggestion to use "search" features here and at the above mentioned website...
