My last project. Slightly cross over with a 95 expresso frame with lots of parts from different eras… 1x10 XT drivetrain.
I have to admit that this is all i would need.
Functional with a touch of the things we love.

To add to this Canadian thread with some slightly later gear

1999 Kona Chute - Pretty much built to original spec with some slight period changes where I couldn’t find the exact match



Cove Handjob - Built with a 1x12 SRAM NX




Cove Handjob - Soon to be built as a mini mullet rigid 1x12 commuter


Cove Hustler - Yet to be built!

Devinci - Absolutely no details anywhere about this bike but it’s a cool find. It had a range of parts on. Seized in there was a XT bottom bracket so I’m guessing it originates from 1997 UN72 and might have been equipped with XT. That’s how I plan to build it anyway!

Holy smokes that's a lot of Coves! Really nice fleet. Maybe I can help with the Devinci. Devinci is from Quebec, and extremely popular there, they like to "buy French". Their factory is directly across the road from a mine, the product is 100% Canadian. They build nice aluminum frames, but were known to skimp out on components.

Can't say for certain, you are right, not a lot of information out there, but to me it looks like a Coyote.
Maybe, just guessing. Other trail hardtail models included Kobain and Cactus.

I did read that. All Canadian aluminium. The frame is really nice. It seems to be raw too. There's a bit of corrosion on the seatstay bridge that'll need a wet sand but the rest cleaned up with some autosol and wire wool.

Devinci actually replied to me on IG and said I should email them with the details and they might be able to find something in the records but not heard from them since.

The derailleur hanger is VERY specific on mine (and a bit shit tbh). It was badly bent, only held on by a rivet that had snapped and it mounted to the inside of the dropout. I'll try and upload a pic.
