I have been unable to get much assistance from the seller. I'm guessing it is a TDF from around 1980 but he says it's heavy. No stickers indicating the model or the frame's make up.

for giant. Anyone that rides with post that high is probably so huge that the frame is maybe a bit "stressed"

Yes I thought that was very odd too.

Looks lower end with a replacement fork. I'd be a little hesitant with that one.

Look it over good for cracks and bends. -- It was certainly run into a curb. (New fork, new front hub and rim.... it was wrecked bad)

Look for wrinkles in the bottom of the down tube. If it's not cracked or badly bent it would make a nice ride.
