Distinguishing features
This is a bicycle I purchased when living with my family. My father saved the serial number along with the paperwork. I believe it was a Sedona or Iguana. The Model Number is 00-93-276, but Giant didn't preserve details about older edition products on their website. I wasn't able to view a product catalog online. This bicycle was stolen once and recovered in-town. Then it was stolen again in Buffalo, NY around 1996 or 1997. Adding to the registry, in case it surfaces.

Description of incident
One evening, I was visiting my friend in this neighborhood. It was late at night and it was raining rather heavily at the time I arrived. Maybe I was only staying for a half hour or so, so I stashed the bike behind his house against the house, which requires access to the driveway to get to. (Fences in each backyard.) There might have been a U-Lock mounted on the bike at the time it was stolen. We filed a police report in 1996 (or 1997) whenever this incident happened. I don't have the number on hand. I'm not sure that they had access to this serial number at the time. I searched this site and it was not recorded. Proof of ownership. I have the vintage owners' manual with the serial # recorded upon it.

Additional parts

Toe Clips
Had plastic toe clips with tension straps attached to the pedals at one point. Each pedal had one reflector removed. Screw on pedal reflector type.
Rack
Black rear rack. Believe each side was comprised of 2-3 alloy firm tubes that came together down by the hub. The rack had a spring loaded brace for storage of items on the rack. Additional bungie cables were once used.
