You got to love Gumtree well I do especially today, This morning perusing the inter web came across this beauty in Gateshead it was silly money and liking a flashy paint job called to see if it was still for sale and lucky enough it was. So this afternoon drove over and picked it up wasn't disappointed one bit, it was a bit grubby and had a few chips here and there but nothing drastic.
It came with and athena chainset and bb mavic bullhorns with profile try bars and a Rolls Due saddle which I've never heard of.
I have to say I don't like the forks so they will be swapped out for a alloy set I got from a shogun team issue which has also supplied the build kit for this a complete 8 speed chorus 2nd gen I think.
The Cougar is all stripped now and I've just finished T-cutting the frame to get rid of most of the marks. I should leave it for now and think about bed but I may just go back out to the shed and fettle a little more. A good frame is like a good book you just can put it down.
