For my next build I had been looking for a nice early - mid 90's frame.
My other bikes are from the 70's / 80's and I wanted something a little more modern.
I found this sound Cougar SLX frame and forks. Great frameset I think, very well made, comparable in my mind to Merckx / De Rosa quality... have a look see what you think
For this build I will be going for Shimano mainly - and it will lean toward a retro modern feel, so encompassing my likes and influences.
Several inspirations will result in the final build.....
Machines I looked at were the
Batavus Pro
De Rosa Primato
I toyed with getting the frame stripped down and re painted but I the frame started speaking to me.... so will leave original just touching up where required
