Can anyone help me identify and value this bike

Hi, I've got a Coyote bicycle frame which i picked up in a boot market. I believe it dates back to the 1990s. Apart from that I don't really know much except that the thing is as light as a feather. I'm looking to sell it on and would like to get some idea of value. I've posted a pic so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

errrr its a Coyote! jokes aside it is the brand name and they were imported into the UK into Newcastle back in those days I believe. they good reasonable reviews from what I recall but don't recall a massive following. So, I doubt theres much value in the frame but that's not to say it wouldn't build into a good mountain bike.
 
Re:

so is it actually a mountain bike? i'm asking because it says the word 'road' on the frame and to my untrained eye it seems very slim for a mountain bike
 
A generic Far East Coyote road frame, not a great deal of money new to be fair.

I reckon £50 if you can find the right buyer.

Thanks so much. I didn't have a clue, picked it up at a car boot sale for £7 so not bad I guess.

I would have thought it was a very good buy for that money.

So many of these alloy frames came out of the far east with one name on or another, the welds will be of a good standard as is the tube quality, Easton Ultralight. :cool:

Well worth the money i reckon.
 
Looks like road frame.

Is the mech hanger, broken or missing, cant make out if there is one or not in the photo

If broken the £7 would seem a lot.
