Hopefully some people who have featured here can make it!

That Cougar is natty!

^ second that.

this has to have been posted before and I'm not sure this is the right place, but fills me with such a weird mix of loathing, lust and envy.

loose straps are loose.

Bloody lovely though.

I doubt power transfer is really an issue in that situation, but bloody lovely indeed.

bizarre but slightly rad
also built by same guy:

I had no idea stickers made you so fast?!

I read somewhere that when you're building bikes there's good weight and bad weight.
Adding good weight (e.g. stickers) makes you faster, whereas bad weight (metal forks, saddlebags and stuff) makes you slow. Pro mechanics know all about this and have designed special "good weights" for the pro bikes - I think that's why they so fast.

I hope I've explained that adequately, but if I've missed any important facts, feel free to chime in
(I must admit I'm not an authority on these things, I don't do it professionally - I've just picked up a few bits and bobs listening in to the experts at my local bike shop).
