Isaac Schell asks: "...What year did Benotto move its production to Mexico? Do people have opinions on whether the quality of the bikes suffered after the move?..."
Isaac, There's a lot of past CR discussion on this topic to be found in the CR archives. I find searching the CR archives to be very helpul in answering my questions. Many times I have learned everything I needed to know from searching the CR archives, and thus did not post a query to the CR list. I have found that recurring questions posted to the CR list may not receive as complete a body of information in the responses received as what I can find in the CR archives. I usually check the CR archives first and then if I have remaining question(s), then I post a query to CR, noting that I check the CR archives first.
