I have to admit when I saw it at the tip I was partly seduced by the name myself. Having always been a mountain biker I wasn't really sure how good it was, although I could see the componentry was pretty poor.
It looks like most of it's original, you've got a brake lever to re fit, the rear mech is definitely wrong and I'm not sure about the saddle but apart from that it looks pretty original.
It looks like a later one and one of the better ones at least because of the chrome fork ends and the Suntour bits so looks like all you need is the correct suntour rear mech and a fair bit of elbow grease
