COYOTE titanium frame............help!

[Jason Fox]

Hi

Anyone, know much about coyote (american frame builders) and their titanium
frames?

have they gone out of buisness?

where could I get one from, even if not brand new?

I am in England(UK) but relpies from knowledgable Brits and Americans
welcome.

Would like to get hold of one. Other Ti frames I seen are not quite to my
liking for various reasons.

thanks
Coyote Humter!

In 1997 Coyote went bankrupt and the management bought Reynolds bicycle
tubing, which still exists. Here is their info, before they went belly up:

Coyote Sports, Inc.
2291 ARAPAHOE AVENUE
BOULDER, CO 80302
+1 303 9328794

Coyote Sports, Inc. operates in two industry segments: the company
designs, engineers, manufactures, markets and distributes branded sports
equipment products and designs, engineers, manufactures and distributes
advanced composite materials. The sports equipment segment bicycle
tubing, golf shafts, bicycle components for OEM's and the aftermarket.
The advanced composite materials segment basically produces advanced
materials for sporting goods manufacturers, preimpregnated graphite and
woven fabrics. The company has 400 customers basically located in United
States and Europe, Callaway and Cobra are the major customers. The
company acquired West Coast Composites and Unifiber Corporation in 1998.
The company has incurred $30,000 to date towards Year 2000 project.
Sports equipment accounted for 90% of 1998 revenues and advanced
materials, 10%.

There was also a Coyote Ultralight company, which was based in the UK.
They are gone, too.

Errr, is this the same coyote that still make the DH3 frame? I think
based just down the road from me called 'concept somthingorother'? see
this pic and see if the logo is the same:

If it is, their phone number is 0161 7278508 (UK). I've been to their
HQ a few times. All their frames are made by a random chinese/taiwanese
factory but seem to be pretty good quality (hence my username and i
have a coyote F2) The guy who was in charge of the designs and stuff
left IIRC but has been replaced so should be no problems, unless you
want the designs as they went with the man!
