For Sale: Late 80s (Terry Dolan) Cougar 531 F&F, [also Shimano 600 bits pending interest]

Hello,

This has been sitting in the corner of my sitting room waiting to have some attention lavished on it but we're going to end up moving house before I get round to it so it has to go I'm afraid.

As I recall it's 53cm ST or certainly very close to it, I'll measure at home tonight if there's any interest. I believe it's late 80s with 126 spacing. SOLD.

As you can see from the pictures, the decals are worse for wear and the paintwork needs some love. The dropout inserts and headset are both campagnolo and show signs of use. No dents or other damage however

Material is 531, chromed fork is close to perfect including panto'd cougar logos.

I also have a box of periodish (1990/1) Shimano 600 bits to go with it (about one and a half groupsets worth), ranging from light-use to NOS which I'll list separately unless the framebuyer wants first dibs.

£SOLD for the frame and fork, preferably picked up from E5, could deliver to anywhere between there and W1 if necessary.

Dibs pending measurements!

Eaglewolf has first dibs, measurements when I get home, will post here and PM.

GB

Update on sizing:
Seat tube is 52,5cm CTC, Top tube is 53,5cm CTC

As I said - some chips and cosmetic damage to the paintwork but all fine structurally on the frame, fork pretty much perfect.

Sorry for the update, fork is 653, not 531...

def interested in the groupset if frame buyer doesn't want to make an offer.

looking for some shimano 600 bits from then! interested in hubs, pedals and a stem if frame buyer or salmon child isn't.

Salmonchild, Geno - interest noted. I went through the box of components this morning and it's not quite as complete as I thought... brakes, brake lever assembly, front deraillieur (x2), rear deraillieur, cranks/chainrings, down tube shifters (x2 sets, one NOS) some other odds and sods but no hubs I'm afraid.

Still waiting on firm response on frame from Mr Wolf so will update availibility on the other stuff in next couple of days.

ahh, got all that already, but cheers for looking!

Second dibs on the F+F, nice stuff.

Unfortunately I am having to undibs! Bank troubles! Sorry to have kept you waiting GB! So please dbr get on it! Its a shame as this is a really nice quality frame/fork! Good luck! Bump bump bump!

Dbr now has dibs. Viewing tomorrow night.

This is now sold along with the s600 cranks, front brake caliper and bb.

For those who have PM'd about specific bits from the groupset - pictures and PMs will follow in the morning - apologies for the delay.

Very nice gent is GB. Ended up in the Pub on the park or whatever it's called. Everything present and correct as far as I can tell.

howdy. can i take the shimano 600 brake levers please? are there pics up? i can't see from work.

Hello Dooks,

I have an offer on the whole lot I'm afraid, if it falls through you have first dibs on the brake levers.

Yep, there are pics up - I can send you a direct link to them if you can't see them on the forum.

Dooks, offer had fallen through so the levers are yours for a fiver delivered in East London or picked up from W1.

thanks mister bear! just had a look at the pics on my phone. going to hang fire till i've checked what's in my box of bits at home. if i find i do need them i'll get in touch tonight. cheers.

Just the hubs and the two front deraillieurs left - if they don't sell by midweek (Wednesday noon) they will be free to anyone attending the East ride next Sunday.
