    RD Coyote Team 5, any info available

    Research Dynamics Coyote Team Five. 1993 would be a good call on the year given the groupset. Manufactured by Dodsun in Taiwan I believe (even though the sticker says made in Japan) for Research Dynamics, a small private bicycle marque. Sold through a chain of outdoor stores in the Idaho/Utah...

    Any experience with Selle Bassano vuelta and Excalibur?

That was a solid steel rail with textured vinyl cover and foam padding, heavy and long (so probably the base model). Not the most comfortable of saddles as I...

    Nice long 31.4 seatpost

    No joy from my spares box, turned out to be a 30.9 I'd cut down to 350mm. Bikeinn (Spain) I've bought from these before, during the last lockdown. Happy with the service (bought tyres from them) £4.99 delivery charge to the UK. Check out the seatposts in 31.4. https://www.bikeinn.com/...

    Dawes Genesis any info...?
