Hi would like a current value on my coyote ultralite, 17 "carbon monocoque front, alu rear. Mix of years LX drive with xt front and rear deraillers. It's not so much the parts it's the bike frame I'm more interested. Any previous purchase/sales? Just squeaks in as a 97'

It's been ridden, came from a bike shop clear out which I took on as a few projects. As far as original owner etc couldn't tell you it's new to me this week. I've stripped and part rebuilt it so far with mid/mid high component, a mix of newer LX and older xt. Just gauging a price range as it...

Fantastic, knew I was on the right trail. Built up is there a value attached to these bikes?

I've edited the original thread to match our conversation. Although this isn't a for sale description it's best to be clearer

Yes I agree, I fully understand in its life that looking at the marks on the end cap it could have been offered up to a bike at some point, but it never left the bike shop in its 30 years, was never sold. When the time comes to sell I'll be sure to accurately describe it. The other dust and...

Comes down to condition/price/size at that level, go with your best fit for either/all the elements and get out and enjoy. I've experience with the saracen steels, good frames but sometimes let down by components so a basic upgrade can work wonders. Go with either

Hi, it was laced to a wheel but never sold. I took the rim off, the scratch was unfortunately there before I inherited it. Its never had a cassette fitted. The skewer isn't original to the hub (that may be used) but the hub/wheel set up still had the original bike shop selling tags present.

In the process of building this frame back to service and was wondering if the branding of either koga or coyote etc originated from the same frame ie the fastrax magnum. As mine stands with the coyote branding it seems to be exactly the same as the koga miyata sky expension frame?

3 hubs I'm struggling to value, green middleburn front, red bigfoot front and hope ti glide rear. Middleburn is used/faded but good, red bigfoot is fitted but nearly perfect, and hope ti glide was mounted but never fitted to a bike so new. Thanks folks

Can someone identify the year of manufacture/age range of my hope ti glide rear hub 32h? Its never been ridden on but was laced to a wheel. May have been mounted on a fork for display/demonstration but never had a cassette fitted or left the bike shop. I was hoping the decal could age it but...

Has anyone local to Liverpool area got any old mountain bike magazines preferably from 90-95? Either MBUK or MBI? Don't worry about free sticker etc its more the magazines I'm after. Cheers, Paul

Thanks yeah I saw that earlier in the comments, just can't be a coincidence being a postcode? Thought the 20 20 would have a reference as I've seen the 4 digits on a few posts 👍

So I picked up what I thought was a 92 Indian fire trail, but it was specced like a 93. The frame number seems to be a postcode, only 6 digits LE4 4EG with a secondary number diagonally 20 20, I'll attach pics. Could someone verify the year for me please for decals

That's absolutely fine, in my coffee haze I didn't realise you'd tagged someone else, sorry for the question to your question mark, I'm awake now and understand 👍

I have a set of blue magura rond quake forks for spares if anyone needs anything? The lower blue outer legs have a split so are unusable but the inners, stanchions, seals, crown and steerer are in excellent order with just one rusty bolt. Alternatively if anyone has a set of outers I'd be...
