I bought this Cota from the Original Owner and have been working on getting it sorted out.
Its a very early model : Vin 21M00348, possibly a 1968?... It has the IRZ carb, big hubs, no chain tensioner or mount for one. Everything besides the tires is probably original.
The bike runs but i have replaced the crank seals, base gasket and replaced the petcock. Working on getting tires/ tubes/ rim locks changed, seat recovered (foam is deteriorating).
I don't think it will get a cosmetic upgrade, just mechanical. I like the patina.
Thanks
