When you have too much time on your hands, you break out a wire wheel and start stripping paint!  Decided to see how a natural metal pipe would look on this bike.  I kinda like it!

 

 

Almost there. After a complete rebuild, the engine is a dream, the pegs have been lowered and moved back, The bars have been raised as well. The forks have got HFS inserts and the rear shocks are new NJB's. All in all it's a dream to ride. All I need to do now is tart it up a bit or leave looking like a rat !

Updated photos of my Montesa Cota mk4b

Just picked up this 242 today.

Could we have a show me your Montesa 242's?

Hi,

First post on TC,but have been gleaning as much info on the Mar on TC  as I can over the last year.Some very helpful information from all those who love Ossa's.

Pic is of my Mk2 Ossa. Taken approx 6 months to get to this stage. My first foray back into trials since I was a lad.Now addicted!

 

Cheers for the posts and quick thanks to OTF for advice.

Lovely looking Ossa.

Thanks. Also have this 247 tucked away for a tidy up over the winter.

My Bultaco 199B.

The Beamish is getting a lot of use , now i have a practice ground, i have even done my first trial(which i won my class)

Seems to be a cool 4stroke ride, do have a bigger photo?

Not mine Patrik, 2 strokes too many ...

Well, I finally took some sound advice from this group, spent a few days (months) hunting the globe, but today I swapped out my top triple clamp to move the bars a bit forward.  It's not a major change, but I could feel the difference in the first ride around the yard!  Amazed how such a small thing can make a big change in the bike's handling.

 

My thanks to all the smart people out there!  Appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
