History: I built this bike up in the winter of 1999/2000 in order to have a dry weather training bike - something different to ride in the spring after being on the 370 all winter. Most of the parts are cast-offs from my race bike. It is really a bit short in the top tube for me, but with a long stem and the saddle jammed right back it works okay. When I went to the US in 2000, it gained a set of Salmon mudguards (there is just room for them....) and became my winter bike whilst I was over there. Back in the UK it is back in it's original role, with the recent addition of a set of SRM power cranks for accurate training data. In the autumn of 2003 I finally decided that I should change the frame on this bike to actually get one with a long enough top tube to fit me properly, and since I could get a good deal through the bike shop I was working in, I bought a Lemond carbon/steel frame, and sold the Coyote onto my friend Dan. Purpose: Fast training rides, commuting when I don't have stuff to carry.
