Keep an eye on the bottom bracket. When I did track racing back in the 80s, it seemed like it was usually a Benotto that started a kilo with a loud crack when the BB shell broke away from the seat tube, forcing the rider to have to find another bike in a hurry. Maybe that was just their track bikes, but it tended to put people off Benotto bikes in general.
Yes, they were famously overheated at the factory. The consensus seems to be that all the bad ones are probably dead by now. I bought this one used and well ridden. I seriously doubt my legs can deliver that kind of torque.
