Another Cougar

Mmm. That could possibly be one of the ones built and sold for the Belgian/Dutch Market.

They had very similar paint jobs.

They weren't cheap in the day if my memory serves me correctly.

Oh ok , I have contacted Dolan but Terry Dolan is away at the moment.


A couple of others I have seen have similar scheme but with part chrome stays .

Yes it would have been pretty pricey when new .

Well another 60+ miles covered on this one over the weekend .
Whilst i was out yesterday i kept thinking about my previous Cougar https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/cougar.249821/ which was a cracking looking machine but it always felt really heavy and wasn't responsive even though it was Reynolds 853 and had quality components fitted where as this one feels light and is very responsive .

This fine machine made its debut this weekend with 2 rides that were just short of a ton.

Lovely effort that! The colour scheme is properly old school!

I would love to see how they painted it back in the day

Beautiful sunrise too.

The thread title is misleading. It's not about Jennifer Coolidge after all.

Nice bike!

Great rides!

But mudguards, saddle and frame bag grate to me!

Needs a turbo / rolls saddle imho.

They are only half guards if that helps

Beautiful sunrise too.

It's very difficult to get the true colours of a sunrise but I tried.

That's a great looking bike.

I have an old Dolan carbon bike, hand built for Rob Hayles, very nice build quality, very light weight, a serious racer.

Too good for an old bloke like me.
