OK, it's an Apollo, but good if you don't want to risk your pride and joy being nicked if left somewhere.
It is an Apollo XC26 mountain bike. It has front suspension that is in good working order. I junked the awful pressed steel V brakes and replaced them with Tectro alloy units, also replaced the flexible plastic brake levers with unbranded alloy ones that work well. The twist grip gear shifters never worked properly so I changed them for Shimano thumb shifters which work perfectly, indexed rear and friction front. As best as I can measure because it has a sloping top tube, it is 19.5 or 20 inch frame. I am 5ft 10inches tall and it suits me fine. Wheels are not very old and run true. The bike has a rear carrier with one of those springy things on it to stop your newspaper blowing away.
Overall the bike is in very good condition. I will do some photographs tomorrow.
