AA93651 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Can folks give some input on the value of a 1973 montesa cota 247 trials bike? Looking at parting with my father's bike which is not currenlty running and we need a ballpark idea of what to list it for. Thank you in advance.

cleanorbust Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 A decent one in ready to ride state would get £1500-1800 in UK (my guess). So maybe £700-1000 for a non-runner if complete. Just my guess. They aren't that popular in twinshock trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
