I think what GIGFY is probably trying to say in a polite way is @Canuk please stop posting about the same subject in three+ replies when you can put much of it into one post.Don't know if you know but you can insert 10 pictures and text in the one post
This has the potential to be a good thread but it’s spectacularly annoying to read when you keep posting like this.

Corima Puma Frame Set, and a combination of Campagnolo parts, the first component that grabs the eye is the Campagnolo Croce d'Aune Delta Brake Set (looks similar to C-Record, but, not the same), If you zoom on picture, you can see the springs exposed on brake set (C-Record Delta Brake parts are completely enclosed). Cinelli 1R Stem, Chorus Crankset, Record RD (or Chorus RD). The Puma was designed for Rear "double pivot" brakes, a Delta Rear Brake won't work on it.

Long before Corima established itself as a leader in high end carbon wheelsets, the origins of the prestigious French brand can be traced back to where its founders, Pierre Martin and Jean-Marie Riffard, first began developing composites for the automobile and aerospace industries.
In 1988, Martin and Riffard diversified into carbon fiber and began creating their first cycling product, a disc wheel, under their newly established acronym COoperation RIffard MArtin.
This was followed by the development of Corima’s revolutionary 4-spoke and Aero wheelsets, along with one of the very first carbon seatposts called the Ellipse.
That same year, Corima created its groundbreaking Puma carbon monocoque frameset, which featured a boldly designed aerodynamic shape and a steeply sloping top tube.
However, production was discontinued in 1999, due to new rules that were implemented by cycling’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which placed certain restrictions on framesets as it related to geometry and shape.
As a result of the Puma being banned from competition, Corima began making a new track model in 1991 called the Cougar, which featured an even more dramatically shaped frameset and sloping top tube.
Perhaps the Cougar’s most memorable moment came in 1993, when British cycling great Chris Boardman broke the coveted World Hour Record riding one.
Magnifique!
