Anyone able to identify this please?

Looking to buy something cheap to use on a turbo trainer and the very occasional local ride and I've come across this.

    Maybe an old Giant Speeder, or similar. If you only plan to use it on the turbo, then the only things that matter are that it is functional and it fits.

    Not convinced its a Giant, it looks like it could be a respray and the downtube sticker isn't quite square (the T is wrapped further over the top of the tube and the G further underneath) - of course it may or may not have been a Giant before the respray!

    I agree with this. Whether the frame really is a Giant is one debate, but I also think the transfer is after-market. Bikes of that era tend to have the old Giant logo, or are much smaller. If it's cheap enough, it could still be a decent turbo/pub bike.
