Just to close this one, the Cougar has been purchased by Terry Dolan for his collection. What a nice result, it will return to its maker 👍

I've put my Cougar Race bike on eBay with a starting price of £350. Full details on the eBay listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115828309883 It dates from the early '90s but has hardly been ridden. It's in excellent condition so really just needs a clean and is ready to go.

Well I've put it on eBay at £350. Let's see what happens. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115828309883

I know, that's the problem. I'd stick on here and on eBay but I don't want to give it away. I may stick it up with a reserve of £500?

I just took some pictures of my Cougar (Terry Dolan built) - it's got Shimano Ultegra 600 a 3TTT headset, Look Pedals and new white Selle Regal seat. I appreciate it's difficult to put a price on these but are we talking £250 or £750? It's hardly been used because I bought it for triathlon and...

Well, it's 10 years since I refreshed my Cougar and I've hardly used it since. As I'm now mid '60s I'm not likely to so I going to put on the sale section, trouble is I have no idea what to ask. What's the forum's thoughts on a hardly used Terry Dolan Cougar from the early to mid '90s? 🤔

So, I have a mid-90s Cougar with Shimano EX600 Ultegra but modern pedals that I considering swapping to Shimano pedals with toe clips and cleats. I am less comfortable in clipless SPDs but very happy in toe clips. It occurred to me that most modern shoes look a bit odd with an older bike and...

Well I just ordered some basic black bib-shorts which I can wear with a retro-style jersey also some baggy shorts over the top with my Orange mountain bike.

Crikey, there's a lot of retor jerseys there!

Well, is there a retro kit scene or do you just go for the most comfortable lycra bib-shorts and jersey yo ucan find? Just wondering :)

I wonder if any you other chaps who ordered them from H&S Bike-Discount GmbH after I started this thread have received your tyres yet? ETA Well they've finally turned up and I must say it's thanks to Deutsch Post/DHL. They left Germany by Deutsch Post and transfered to Parcel Force in the UK...

You've done better than me then. The ones I ordered 3 weeks ago still haven't turned up even thought they've had my money. Not looking good... :(

Reckon they should give me a discount for all the business! :lol:

Yeah, well as long as I get mine I don't give a toss...

Indeed, I coudn't find an "ironic smile" smiley so I used a lol one instead but anyway I'm happy with £25 a tyre. plus postage.

I see, I thought you were going to say they will probably be cheap Chinese reproductions which last 5 mins if they don't collect punctures beforehand! :) I'll let you all know when they arrive, hopefully despatched Monday so may arrive towards the end of the week.

Is that bad? I've honestly have no idea... I just wanted amber wall tyres on my Orange. Anyway I've not paid the Earth for them so if they're no good I can use them for a year and replace. Thoughts :?:

Well I've picked up a pair of Panaracer Smoke & Dart skinwalls from Germany of the internet. Total cost was £58 including courier charges with DHL which I didn't think was too bad. I noticed a thread elsewhere about a chap selling some for £175 so maybe I got a bargain...? :lol:

Got some on the way, should look good. :)

I'm intending to revive my old Orange P7 which has not been used for about 10 years... First thing is some new tyres and tubes and in keeping with the age of the bike (1994) I want to keep the pale amber wall appearance. The original tyres are Specialised Cannibal 28 x 1.8 but it seems...
