I notice it has a newly replaced front crank, why didn't he replace the rear crank.
The fork puzzles me.

I'd ride it, and I'm 250#. Techniums are great bikes, I have one for my teenage son right now, and as the seller says, $40 is a great price for the component set alone if you don't want the frame. Suntour accushift 6sp system is pretty good, although I can't tell if either of the derailleurs are actually still on the bike. Wheels are probably decent for the vintage too.

My point precisely. The lesser ductility of of a hard aluminum alloy material has decreased tolerance to deformation. That pic shows what looks like damage somewhere near 25% of the tube's diameter.
