Dawes Cougar: Mutton dressed up as lamb.

You've inspired me. Went past my local thrift shop and they had a beaten up MTB outside which I picked up for £20.
It will become an abomination. Just need the spare parts I have in London.

what is the frame? pictures? you can pick them up for cheap. i really like the idea of recycling and reusing a bike that could just as easy end up in the skip. think about how many classic lightweights and beautiful track frames must have ended up being binned before the fixie trend kicked in.....

I've been all over Ebay looking for something but I'm thinking I should source something local In Brighton. There's some really fun bikes out there for this conversion.

i saw this tall guy the other day, but looks like tt is bent....could be the light.

and this bad boy. seller has had it up for a while, think he would take an offer. rad paint, the soundtrack above would also be applicable.
