[QUOTE="lippy, post: 100978, member: 4165"] Hi, I'm new to Vincents and am looking for a Comet. I'd prefer a bike that has all or most of its important original parts, but may need a bit of cosmetic and mechanical work. I've restored several cars in the past and am a decent shade-tree mechanic (I can build engines, paint, and weld). I am starting to read up on Vincents to educate myself but am new to the game. I know this question is very general, but what are the most obvious things and problems I should look for in a Comet (esp Series C)? Things like parts that are particularly problematic, or parts or subassemblies that are no longer available? Thanks in advance for the help! [/QUOTE]
