RARE BEAST - Montesa Cota 348 Trail (not trial)

[VINDURO]

G'day all Spanish...

This bike belongs to my father in law.

I helped him source parts for the resto, a lot came from Spain and America.

It turned out a treat.

It's got full NSW rego. and gets taken for a whirl every so often.

One thing that I discovered after putting these pics up on another site was that the rear shocks are upside down!

I'll correct that next time I see the bike.

VIVA Montesa!

Jock I remember when you started working on that bike ages ago. My memory is telling me the location was a bit unusual - was it Lord Howe Island?
It looks like the shocks on it are shorter than standard. 340mm would be about right

Yep it was Lord Howe Island.

Shocks look shorter because they had collapsed and compressed and seized.

Pics above not working, will try again here:
