Picture request Coyote Ultralight ht2

[sam_white]

Can you tell from the serial number when it was built?

Indeed. Fairly Bike co, January 1995. The same date as the Coyote owned by @Konsta

We have a lot of snow now. A winter ride is very needed.

This arrived today. Thanks LGF. It's beatifully wrapped.

Look at this! According to missus the colour is Silk Pajama Blue.

And @dandy1 I'd be interested in your frame number too, if that's your bike.

Thanks Sam, interesting, I’m sure when I bought the bike from Merlin it was advertised as being “hand built in Newcastle”. A mate bought an anodised pink one. We both snapped the rigid forks and had them replaced with Manitou SX suspension forks. Mine was also specced with wheels with Hope Titanium hubs (which I still have) but couldn’t find a replacement cassette (screw on). I think I still have all the original parts - synchros quill stem with zoom flat bars, canti brakes etc, except the forks that were sent back to Newcastle for analysis.

Does anyone have a Coyote Ultralight HT2 that could take a couple of pictures for me please?
Specifically the head tube decal and the coyote head on the main COYOTE decal.
Trying to get them remaid/printed.

This model coyote, not the later ht4/5.

I was the owner of Coyote. I just might know someone who has the artwork we created for that design. Best way to contact me is through the www.pro-lite.net website

OK I am in Taiwan and the designer is in UK, just spoke to him and he will do some digging. It will be nice to help restore this iconic frame.

We did build some by hand in Newcastle. Mainly Easton framed bikes.
