Montesa Cota 247

Hi

Well this is what i got for a described complete but in bits 71 247,

Its actually a 72/73 far from complete but i got a very clean 627 carb,as new shocks and a complete exhaust in great condition,which i can use on the bike im working on.

The swinging arm is also better than the one on the bike at the moment,which had to be cut out of the frame,

It was a 4 hour round trip but i haggled the bloke down to 200 euros so i think i did ok,

I can now start work on it again,

Im in two minds about ordering chrome mudguards i dont really like the plastic ones that came with the original bike.

Cheers Steve

  • Hi its seems to have taken an eternity,but the montesa is finally complete. A combination of being let down by parts suppliers,lack of motivation,because of part supplier and work meant it took far

Got my back wheel back from the wheel builder and fitted the tyre and sprocket then refitted it to the bike along thin the chain guard and chain tentioner.
