Cougar (Dolan) bike for sale

Despite my best efforts I'm just not going to get the time to finish, let alone ride this so I thought I'd offer my just-started single speed project bike here before breaking it up and flogging the bits on ebay seperately...

It's a Cougar 60cm (to be confirmed when I can find my measure) Italian steel frame in pink and yellow (!) - same colours as the paintjob on this bike here only more pink, less yellow, long profile stem with chopped profile bars, generic saddle / seatpost, campag headset, Shimano 105 cranks, SPD's, front brake + rear cassette (I'll throw in a single speed rear cog + spacers - I think it's a 16T) but you'll need to change the chain, and MTB Suntour XC Pro front and back levers (they need longer bolts though). The wheelset - on the front a Zipp 303 on pretty much a brand new Hope hub and a Campag Moskva rear rim on shimano hub. The frame is ding free with the odd scratch on the decals, wheels are true etc.

It'd take a minimum of work to finish off - just need to change the cassette, a new chain, a rear brake if you're fussed and it's good to go. I'll get some photos taken today and will mail them to anyone interested - mail jwoffle@googlemail.com. With two kids, a bitch of a commute and a house to renovate there's just no way I'm going to get time to even finish it off, let alone play on it.

I'm looking for £200 which is basically what I paid for it. Collection / viewing possible in EC2 during work hours. Any questions etc.

Cheers

Joe

Joe,

thanks for letting me have a loko at it, shame it was too small...

I can vouch that it's a lovely bike!

no worries - how'd you get on with your following viewing?

Hey woffle if you don't get any buyers for the whole frame i may be interested in some of the components. Is the rear wheel a geared conversion?

I'd take the zipp 303 off your hands for starters!

Managed to coax my old digital camera into talking to my laptop - couple of quick pics before I can get my nikon back next week.

asm - the rear is/will be a conversion - I had to take the ss wheel + spacers off as TIm wanted a test ride and I haven't the right chain. This'll be included. If I don't sell as a whole then I'm tempted to split and maybe keep the wheels, esp the front! (reality will probably bite and I'll sell, there's little chance of me building another bike any time soon - got to sort my wife's retro Cannondale Beast Of The East s/s project first...)

No worries, I have found some wheels anyhow :). Yeah keep the zipp! Let me know if you do end up breaking it down and selling off individual bits, i may still be interested in some of the other parts.

Have sent you an email about this.
Ben

sorry joe, i'm out :(
