February 22, 200917 yr Below is a pic of me on my first bike ( ) around 1978/79 - from what I can work out its a '74 model, can anyone confirm? I am 99.9% sure it was left hand gear change. The tank unit had been resprayed, otherwise it was standard apart from some rather odd-looking mudflaps! Thanks for any help Steve
February 22, 200917 yr Yours looks like a Series 2 Cota 247. It may well be from 1974 but they sold the same bike for a few years probably 1973 - 1975. I think the Series 3 247 (Ulf Karlsson Replica) came out in 1976.
February 22, 200917 yr You are right on the ball Feetupfun. I actually have two of these bikes built in 1974. One has the gear change on the right and the other on the left. Both bikes are identical to the one in the picture except for the groovy mudplaps.
