I have enough to get the bike running. Short plan is;
[*] Get the frame and seat stays stripped + painted black/red
[*] Rustle up some big yellow GIANT stickers
[*] Get some spokes >>> lace wheels
[*] I have some 636 pedals not in the pic
[*] Get rear shock rebuilt (chances of getting a factory answer shock = SFA)
[*] Keep looking for a Hopey steering damper
[*] Look for period Kore seat post, bar and stem
[*] If I can't find one, get a Gustav to Manitou brake adapter made up
[*] Get in the gym so I can push some ridiculous gearing :mrgreen:

If you happen to have any of the missing bits, please send me a PM!

I've held both Shaun Palmers & John Tomacs intense M1 framesets some years back. Tomacs frame looked fairly stock (serial number "Tomes". Palmers had reinforcing welds, gussets welded & riveted on all over the place. serial number "napalm"
