vintagecota Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Left-side shift was from Dec. '72. Don't think so. The left side shift on Cota 247's first appeared on the 1974 models, to the best of my knowledge. The change from a silver to black frame color came mid year on the 1974 models for sure, which they marketed as the "Still Better". I have a 1974 "Still Better" (manufactured around April 1973) along with a full page color marketing ad featuring the bike. You will occasionally see the ads come up for sale on E-Bay. The memory is the first, no, second thing to go, eh DG? yup, left-side shift appeared in Dec.'72 at frame #21M8100 nope, the black frame appeared in Feb.'74 at frame #21M13107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
