Advise needed- can anyone tell me if a coyote pure animal aggression bike is any good? Can't find any reviews anywhere- full suspension- bidding on eBay thanks in advance

If its the Oregon you're talking about it looks ok for an entry level hardtail, will do the job. Wouldn't go breaking the bank for it though.

If its the Smack Daddy or whatever I would avoid for sure.

As the brand is Coyote and their slogan is 'pure animal agression'...

As above you might need to be a bit more specific.

The only full sus I see is some nasty yellow jobby.

Thanks for the replays lads- no idea on the model- eBay number - 201439651300
I have only just started on the trails and currently have a gt I drive 4.0 so just looking to improve on that- the coyote frame is going reasonably cheap ATM-

I wouldn't touch it with the proverbial.

With or without the scary looking weld job.

My son had my MTB nicked when he was at Uni in Loughborough. Found the frame / forks on Ebay in Manchester 48 hours later. Sadly we didn't have photos or the frame number so the police didn't want to know.

This has all the hallmarks of a similar operation

Does look like a poor repair near the BB

I wouldn't touch any welded aluminium frame, even if it was a beautifully neat job. Aluminium frames are heat treated, welding them significantly weakens the metal around the weld.

Someone ended up paying £90 for this pre loved frame :roll:

What an idiot!

I only paid a tenner more for a Litespeed frame!
