It's really close to mine, so I can make a comparison from the visible numbers.
Can't see the model, but it's definitely a 1978.
The '5' would indicate a 25" frame.
The details look similar to mine, so TX700 is a possibility, but the model code does not like like an "H" to me.

Proflex 254 700C hybrid for $50 in PA. These originally came with a Flexstem and this one also looks like it has dead rear elastomers. But a quaint piece.

Kid-sized 5-speed road bike, probably 20 x 1 3/8 wheels.

It looks to me like the serial number is G5G8K03. TX700 or 700-level, corroborated by the Reynolds 531 decals everywhere. 5 for the tall height for sure. G for July build date (it could be a C but I see a faint horizontal stamping in the middle of it). 8 for 1978. K03 for the sequence number. The brazing from the blades and stays to the dropouts is also indicative of a 500-level or 700-level frame (and up).

I concur with the characters you have identified. [extra incentive since it is a 25.5" frame, the size I ride]

Really clean pre-canti Nishiki tourer for $229 in SC, and check out that pristine Eclipse SPT (Seat Post Thing).

On the SPT -- that is so cool! I haven't seen one of those since the mid-90s.
They were popular with a nearby cycling club back then. The only time I ever saw them was on multi-day organized rides where we were overtaken on the last day by hordes of hardbodies racing to the finish line. More than a few of them had Cannondale bar bags mounted as shown. Now I know how they did it

In a fairly recent thread, someone was looking for Campagnolo pedal dust caps. Can't find that thread now.
This eBay source has 4 sets. Price seems reasonable ($25 plus tax, shipped, in US). Listing says "Free shipping world wide" - great if true, but caveat emptor recommended. Listing does not say which Campagnolo pedals they fit. Vendor is in Serbia.

Hope this helps someone out.
