The Corima Cougar itself is no ordinary frame. Approximately only a thousand units ever produced, its monocoque frame was made of carbon fiber in late 1991, apparently to be raced at the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992. Since it was intended to be professionally raced, each of them is precisely built to suit the athlete’s needs, while the rest of the frames are manufactured strictly in a few sizes only. Also, Chris Boardman broke the world Hour Record using one of these in 1993. (via Rangga Panji, Panclean Cycles)
