Yep, took a month or thereabouts but Giant UK were very helpful.
Still hasn't given me much confidence to ride like I do with my others though - i'm constantly looking for potholes and braking lightly on both brakes - like bringing a boat to a stop - takes a lot of distance!!
Tell you something, those frames of yours are all in smashing condition, that's a bit bloody frustrating they're all boxed up! Interesting how your green one has different welding to mine and yet they both must be from the same era - what year do you reckon yours is?
I've got a set of those forks from the 2nd picture, and in all honesty I'll end up with those on the bike I think, just a bit unwilling as I want to keep the original character & component list as honest as I can.
I'll keep an eye-out on ebay for some burrows wheels in case yours pop up on there.
