It's a Coyote 'coyote' Indiana men's mountain bike. Some research pointed me to Avocet bikes. They don't exist any more and have either changed name or merged with another company. I emailed them but they don't have any historical data sheets or brochures unfortunately. Still, I think it's got great potential especially being more ridable over the shocking state of the local roads compared to old faithful, my Subway 1 hybrid.
The bike has an all alu-frame, running a triple and an 8 speed Acera groupset. Front shocks, disc brakes. Lots of nice branded parts (I'm not sure if those are stock or have been added) flick shifters rather than the usual twisters.
It'll need some doing to make it more hybrid/roadie. Slick tyres (I'm not a knobbly/off road fan) new chain, possibly new cables, possibly new rear mech hanger, general overall lubrication/clean/fettle.
Any thoughts?
