Love that burnt orange colour.
Same as this Gillott, which is one of my favourite bikes.
I have a '54 Gillott Fleur de Lys, I'm going to get refinished in the same colour.
NICE

That looks like this though.

Still if I could live with it it would save me £150, which would be the biggest single outlay of the whole project.

I'm surprised these Cougar frames are not more highly valued/regarded some proper pedigree and very well built.

It's lovely! And distinctive. At least you're putting gears on it...

yes, nice gears too!

The hubs are rather special as well :-)

I've got a couple of Irish mates who wouldn't let me live that colour scheme down!

So anyone got any fade paintjob images/links?

absurdbird, if you respray that frame, God will drive into your head with a tractor.

Who's this God character? Some bucolic flag lover?
I doubt whether even Terry Dolan would give a shit if I respray my frame.

You seriously like that colour scheme?

I meant masking tape for my chrome stay and ends not the Cannondale track.

masking tape
:-)

Hi chaps.
This is my first post, and this is my current project.
I can't live with the Union flag theme so a respray is on the cards.
I was originally going to go for classic pearlescent white with yellow transfers, but now I'm leaning towards pearlescent hot pink slow fade to white, still with yellow logos.
But I'm having a hard time visualising it, do any of you have any cool fade paintjob pics you could send my way?
Frame is circa 1993- a guess, as its made from Reynolds 731, which was only around for a few years. It's getting built up with an entire 'Tout Mavic' 8 speed group which I have been collecting for yonks. Open 4 CD rims, Flite saddle
I couldn't work out how to embed the pic, so if the thumbnail doesn't work here's the link.
