1968Cota247 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingscorpion Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 It is really difficult to find a bike like yours. I agree with you: do not make a cosmetic upgrade, it would be a crime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr62 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Gorgeous bike (except perhaps the tyres!!). And love the patina - a 53 year old bike shouldn’t be dressed up to be a newbie. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
