Day 1: Reception and History

...And this is how it begins. A Montesa Cota 123 (so far dated at between 1965-1971, this will get pinned down later) last seen by myself when I was in high school and the frame had just been painted. The things 25 years under a tree will do to a freshly painted frame. The cylinder was bored out and sleeved to the original specs and the only thing the "package" is missing are the rings and the kick starter.
