Hi all, this is my little darling you guys are talking about. I'm going to miss her soooo much but with my new baby (a human one) the flat has been taken over by toys that aren't nearly as fun.
I bought her from a teenage track racer in Manchester. Her dad told me it had never been off the track before I took her. Oh man, I really do remember coming back from Manchester on the bus and taking the cougar out to ride for the first time. She felt so twitchy and tight at first compared to my long Holdsworth. This bike was with me through setting up the Bicycle Film Festival and the first ever London polo tourney, and the Trixie Chix, and riding my first alley cat (2nd place on this baby!) and the first Tweed Run.
Ok so now I'm getting all emotional. I love this bike and I hope it goes to someone great. It's so pretty, even if I did do a great job of introducing the little track bike to the streets of London. Perhaps a great bday present for your girlfriend or an awesome father's day present for your baby daddy (who has more storage space then us), or your next killer project (the colour way is so much fun to play with).
I'm done but seriously, please keep it in the LFGSS family as I may need to visit it later.
.....I hope this doesn't count as posting my own ebay!
