Ok no clue why that link isn't working, it's formatted properly. Can't seem to hotlink it without it adding a lfgss link in front of it which breaks it a bit. The copy pastable link is imgur.com/a/QjrUpqI
I don't think I wanna go mini-vs as I'm going to go mudguards too and will get bigger tyres once these are worn out.

The link to the picture of your rusty frame doesn't work, at least for me.
I wouldn't worry too much. You don't have to deal with thru-axles, head tube sizes, BB standards etc. so it would be easy enough to find a replacement frame if this one is a duff. Your new group set and wheels etc. will transfer over no problem. Old MTBs aren't expensive either even for (what would have been) top-end stuff. Crack on I say!
Lucky for you that spoke is an elbow-out one (I think) which means it's far easier to thread through :)
PS. mini-Vs would work with drop bars, ought to clear a 1.75" tyre I think. But maybe check that.
