That’s a belter! Best riding tube set in my experience.

Certainly don’t need it but I’d be very interested in the frameset if it ever came to a split. Would be a massive shame though.

Nice!

653 - Why so???

Also do people notice difference between bespoke makers like Mercian, Bob Jackson, middle layer regional builders and mass produced Raleigh and Dawes etc and finally neo steel enigma, genesis, etc.

Perhaps this isn't the place I'll start a new thread?!
 
I just watched a documentary featuring Chris Boardman on a very similar Cougar back in the early 90s. This could be the best £260 anyone spends, if you ask me. If I had the space I'd be all over this. Good luck with the sale, anyway - I hope it goes to a good home, it really deserves to.
 
Yes it’s 8263
Not sure how they are deciphered though
Thanks
I only asked as i have a Cougar which also has a 4 digit frame number 8538 .

I second this , just a shame i don't have room for another one

Well, as everyone else has said it, that’s so nice
 
Hi, I love that colour scheme, I think for the LA Sheriff's Chevrolet team. Can I check sizing please, is it 59c c-c or c-t? Do you know top tube length? Many thanks!
