Presumably Steve Willard who posed this question and gave the URL leads that inlcuded the name "COUGAR" knows that the frame is a Cougar, although there are no transfers on the frame.
Cougar frames were, and are, still built by Terry Dolan,from Liverpool. Although like most UK "builders" these days Terry had put down his torch and is now a leading importer and distributor of such things as Dedacciai tubes, accessories as well as many other leading Italian parts. he also brings in a range of exotic frames, presumably from Italy, Taiwan..or China.
Terry started out life as a coppersmith, and opened up his first shop in Liverpool in the late 70s/early 80s. Since that tiome he has moved around Liverpool, and gone from a one-man-company until in the late 80s and early to mid 90s he employed four or five staff.
as a framebuilder he was very competent and his frames have been ridden by just about every top time-triallist in the UK including Chris Boardman, who almost always rode frames made for him by his friend Terry, even when the frames did not have Cougar transfers on its tubes. Chris was to have ridden a Cougar for his attempt on the World's Hour Record in July 1993, only switching to Corima at the very last minute because of the sponsorship deal. He built some very radical leading edge low-profiles nbut also in his early days produced some excellent road racing frames. The all-conquering North Wirral-Kodak team of the earl to mid 90s, of which Boardman was a member road his road and T-T frames.
Just around that time "the men-in-suits" bought into the Cougar business
and tried to capitalise on the fame of the frames, but things went
wrong, the company foundered..and Terryb started out on his own again
Since that time Terry's frames have carried his own name, while the
COUGAR brand has been sold on to someone else. Terry still supllies some
of the UK's top riders.
>From the look of this frame it appears to be a Terry Dolan Cougar,
dating from the late 80s to the early 90s. It should be a very competent
frame as such.
