Now Splitting ! Cougar 853 (Terry Dolan) steely with top spec for sale :(

It is with a heavy heart I'm listing this but have always had the attitude that if I'm not riding a bike (regardless) of how nice I cannot justify keeping it.
So up for grabs my much loved and meticulously built 853 steely.
I bought the frame originally off here and then built it up. I have contact the guys at DOLAN and found out some more about it. I have since built it up for many new parts including the shifters, brake set, headset, forks, saddle, pedals, bottom bracket, wheels and cables. The rest was added but in very nice condition.
The spec Reynolds 853 (all tubes not just the front half as in some builds) by terry dolan.
Forks - Columbus minimal full carbon forks (plenty of space left to play with.
Wheels - campagnolo neutron asymmetric.
Groupset - Campagnolo record carbon 10 speed - the brakes are titanium.
Seat post - Campagnolo carbon post
Saddle - Specialized romin evo (although I might keep this depending on interest).
Bars - fsa and ritchey short drop
Rear cassette - 13-29 campagnolo 10 speed
Pedals- Carbon keo
Tyres are a mix continental 25mm

I'm open to taking saddle of and pedals if not needed.

I'm sure there's more I've missed. In terms of sizing I measure centre to centre. The top tube is 54.5cm but some might say 55cm. I will take some pics later with the tape.
Again the seat tube is 55cm centre bottom bracket. however that is to the bottom dip of the seat tube to the top is 55.5cm. Again i'll update pics later.
For reference I am 5 10 and it fits me great but has movement either way.
Any questions please ask I would prefer collection for obvious reasons primarily the person to see in the flesh and try out. It is in great shape with only a few minor blemishes to the paintwork which arrived when I bought it. It is taped now and I have included pics. The biggest which isn't really seen is above the front mech on the hanger. It is a stunning bike and I will be very sad to see it go. It is a very high spec with many new quality parts.
I could be a mile out but I don't think given the spec (not to mention the money I have spent in building it!) I am asking £1200. For reference I looked at some of the modern steels which are no where near this spec and no where near the quality are significantly more and a lot heavier! This weighs in a smidge over 19lb from memory. Any questions please ask also selling a set of carbon wheels.
X3 Pic links below the first was taken yesterday the other two where when I built the bike originally with then centaur and then to full carbon record 10
thanks jon

Intetested in group if/when you splits ;)

Thought that post might be coming. Together for now cheers Jon

Lovely, are you in London? Could I come and have a look? Cheers

Conservative values thanks for the interest I'm sorry I'm based in north devon. It is a stunning bike and the reality of the pics don't really do it justice. A completely unique one off build in my opinion. The best pics are in the first build album when it had centaur the pics were taken outside in the sunlight.
I'm happy to answer any questions send more pics (although there is 3 albums!).
I was literally going to place the advert on retro bike (member on there also). Of course i'll delete this thread before hand! Let me know if postage was a consideration or in the off chance you were in devon. I do need to get this sold in order to buy new bike. I will consider splitting in a week or so. thanks jon

I am down in North Devon atm if you'd like to sell me that record carbon group :)

Thanks Jon, it's on the smaller side of what would need and the headtube looks quite short. Worth having a ride to try it out in London but bit of a risk otherwise. Good luck with the sale.

Thrasher love your persistence. The trouble is is fitted currently. Think I'm going down that route. May get it into lbs next week. I've not researched the going prices for such a timeless group ;)

Here we go then please bare with me on this in that I am mental busy over this weekend, riding the moor to sea on over wet Dartmoor tomorrow then child care all weekend.
I will take the bike into LBS next week and get it professionally stripped (correct tools!)

Terry dolan 853 frame and Columbus minimal full carbon forks (loads of steerer left). Plus Campagnolo record 1 inch headset. The folks were new and are superb the headset was nos and I think I have a spare bearing race. Frame description as above top 853 Reynolds steel. All in all lovely and like to keep.
I don't think £440 is unreasonable (unless people think otherwise). I looked into some modern steel frame and imho they aren't a scratch on this.

Full Campagnolo 10 speed carbon groupset. The shifters were bought brand new from lbs as were the titanium brake set nos. The rear and front mech are in great shape the rear has a few marks on the metal but looks amazing when fitted and not noticeable. Chain set is compact 50/36 with little used rings. Record/super record bb ultra torque bottom bracket, 10 speed chain Chain - I think record if not KMC I can confirm later.
Cassette - is a veloce (sorry) but works great and ultimately is a replaceable item. 13-29
Not sure what the asking price is but in great condition with near new parts timeless group that i'll almost certainly not have again :(
£595 plus postage again if miles out let me know.

Wheelset is Campagnolo Neutron - hardly used new when fitted to the bike great bombproof reliable wheels and light. I'm informed they are basically record hubs and can believe it given their purr £250 postage on top

Look carbon keo blade pedals great knick £40 - £44 posted

Seat post carbon record 27.2mm still available online at £99.99!
Seen them on ebay going for £70
Asking £ 50 - £55 posted

Think that's it any question please ask I'll try to respond as quickly as possible bearing in mind my weekend. I will happily post and will be insured will need to discuss the wheels and frameset. I have just sold my Reynolds carbons and will hopefully be getting glowing feedback for them from mark. I am genuinely gutted to be selling and will only sell things honestly and that I would be happy to receive thanks jon
