Just to close this one, the Cougar has been purchased by Terry Dolan for his collection. What a nice result, it will return to its maker 👍

I've put my Cougar Race bike on eBay with a starting price of £350. Full details on the eBay listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115828309883 It dates from the early '90s but has hardly been ridden. It's in excellent condition so really just needs a clean and is ready to go.

Well I've put it on eBay at £350. Let's see what happens. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115828309883

I know, that's the problem. I'd stick on here and on eBay but I don't want to give it away. I may stick it up with a reserve of £500?

I just took some pictures of my Cougar (Terry Dolan built) - it's got Shimano Ultegra 600 a 3TTT headset, Look Pedals and new white Selle Regal seat. I appreciate it's difficult to put a price on these but are we talking £250 or £750? It's hardly been used because I bought it for triathlon and...

Well, it's 10 years since I refreshed my Cougar and I've hardly used it since. As I'm now mid '60s I'm not likely to so I going to put on the sale section, trouble is I have no idea what to ask. What's the forum's thoughts on a hardly used Terry Dolan Cougar from the early to mid '90s? 🤔

So, I have a mid-90s Cougar with Shimano EX600 Ultegra but modern pedals that I considering swapping to Shimano pedals with toe clips and cleats. I am less comfortable in clipless SPDs but very happy in toe clips. It occurred to me that most modern shoes look a bit odd with an older bike and...

Well I just ordered some basic black bib-shorts which I can wear with a retro-style jersey also some baggy shorts over the top with my Orange mountain bike.

Crikey, there's a lot of retor jerseys there!

Well, is there a retro kit scene or do you just go for the most comfortable lycra bib-shorts and jersey yo ucan find? Just wondering :)

I wonder if any you other chaps who ordered them from H&S Bike-Discount GmbH after I started this thread have received your tyres yet? ETA Well they've finally turned up and I must say it's thanks to Deutsch Post/DHL. They left Germany by Deutsch Post and transfered to Parcel Force in the UK...

You've done better than me then. The ones I ordered 3 weeks ago still haven't turned up even thought they've had my money. Not looking good... :(

Reckon they should give me a discount for all the business! :lol:

Yeah, well as long as I get mine I don't give a toss...

Indeed, I coudn't find an "ironic smile" smiley so I used a lol one instead but anyway I'm happy with £25 a tyre. plus postage.
