Re:

The Yama looks very like a Kuwahara frame from mid-1980s - dropouts and the under-chainstay brake, and some other details match up with a Kuwahara I have (well, its out on loan but its somewhere!). Whatever it is it looks tall.

The Almega was a lust object for me in the 1990's. It would be my choice to put effort into.

The Marin is evocative of the era, and looks pretty original. Good luck getting that seatpost out!

The Yama does look like a Kuwahara! It is tall, too tall for me I think, but will be a fun project none the less.
The Almega is high up on the list of bikes I want to finnish, but as with many of these bikes, there is a crack in the headtube..... It is possible to weld, but is quite expensive.
Hate a stuck seatpost....

Perhaps you ought to sell some and get this instead: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mountain-Bik ... Sw-QtfagN9


Even if you're going to hell in a bucket, at least you'll be enjoying the ride.
