Hello!
Does anyone know who makes the frames for Benotti bikes, specifically the Fuoco Aero SL?

The geometry can be found on geometrygeeks: https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/benotti-fuoco-aero-sl-2024/
It is know tat Schmolke get their frames from the Korean manufacture Wiawis (they come from Archery and also make lots of carbon bows) while Storck seem to be Pardus bikes/OEMs with a deeper fork (I assume their climbing frames are also from the same company, the opposite would make little sense).

The Benotti would be a nice bike and the prices aren't even that high (in the Cube range for fully built ones), it would just be interesting to know who actually makes them, as those small German companies (Benotti have absorbed AX-Lightness) who where there during the peak lightweight rim brake era with their superlight carbon components don't seem to actually design their own frames nowadays.

The predecessor model was produced by workswell.  I would assume that they are still working together as the frame looks very similar.
However this model is not in the workswell catalogue.
And also workswell stopped selling single frames to us private people.

Thanks for the answer. I see, kinda sad that they won't sell single frames to private people.
