Does anyone know if Benotto Mexico-made bicycles were made in the same factory with the Windsor Pro (also made in Mexico) bicycles? One thing that catches my eye immediately when looking at the two brands side by side is the paint scheme. And if I remember correctly, both machines had decals on the head tube that read from top-to-bottom.

According to the Benotto history page, Giacinto Benotto went to Mexico on Ausust 21st, 1953 to begin Mexican production.
