What's the frame number bump please?

There appear to be two models of HT2, one with round chain/seat stays, like pictured above, and one with box section stays and forged/CNC yokes. Possibly different manufacturers, frame numbers would help.

I suspect the logos are the same on other models. Is that your bike in the picture? You could compare it to the logos on my DH or F2, they're both 1997 built frames. Both shown here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/coyote-dh.421541/ What's the frame number on yours? That should give you a...

Mavic D521's are designed for rim brakes, so no worries there. Leave the hubs, you might want to upgrade to disc brakes later on.

I've not come across a Mantis before. Despite scrutinising the photos, it looks like a standard single pivot swingarm. Care to elaborate? The shock and upper link are very much in the style of an Amp B3, but is there some clever trickery with the swingarm?

I'm assuming @baron von greenback means 700c not 27" - @MattiThundrrr the diameter difference is 8mm, but your diagram makes the difference look bigger as all wheels are 'on the floor', in terms of the brake track, they're only 4mm different

700c wheel should fit in a 26" fork. Will be fine with a smaller road tyre. You probably won't ft a MTB tyre though.

I'm assuming these are Hodaka built frames. Any chance you have the frame numbers? @kingoffootball I'm sure would also be interested.

It may not look much different, but there are changes. Both wheels have been out and thoroughly cleaned, especially the rims around the eyelets. Also straightened a dent in the rear rim. Some Mavic adapters popped in the rims and some Presta tubes with yellow caps. Found a reasonably looking 8...

There's also this bike: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/kona-caldera-serial-number-list-list-updated-04-11-24.446749/post-3406277 Unidentified Kona, could be a Kilauea from the same batch as yours. H8C33986

I'll add my 2p worth - thanks @kingoffootball for alerting me to the thread. The frame number (H8C38154) deciphers It's a Hodaka built frame, dated 1998. The 'C' indicated a March built frame. I will put up a post to describe the Hodaka numbers in more detail when I get around to it. There's...

I'm sure someone will want those Cannondale Force 40 cams...

N1E5931 - @Ollie98 is your bike an Aluminium Classic? Looks like 1991 and from the same factory as this Schwinn - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/tim-goulds-93-newnham-schwinn-homage-finished.359242/

Two things... 1) I wasn't aware Marzocchi made 11/4 Bombers and 2) I'm surprised that the crown is unique. Surely it just needs a different sized steerer?

They're a company that makes bike frames - https://liyang.com/ Another that looks similar to yours was for sale here recently: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/merlin-frame.492997/ The frame number will confirm if it's the same.

That looks like a Liyang frame. Has it got a frame number starting with LY on the outside of the non drive side dropout?

Found some active and past sales on Ebay - it was called the MTS after all: Gotta say I prefer the look of the hardtail. That rear shock looks atrocious.

I'm struggling to find much in the way of photos, or information online so maybe here is a good place to ask. Does anyone know anything about these Coyote bikes? Question prompted as I've seen the red one for sale - not that I'm likely to buy it. It's in Manchester and according to the seller...

The components are garbage, but that frame looks interesting. £20 in Norwich, not mine. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1778619102730331/

Can you chaps share your frame numbers please?
