I beileve Giant made a rim like that a while back,but Im not sure if that one is it. It looks like this Giant MCR wheel.....

Edit:The rim itself might be made by Rigida.Giant might just do the hub and spokes.

That bike is straight-up cred. The only jackass component is the saddle -- it clearly needs that pea-soup(-vomit?) green saddle from the other bike in the first pic.

If you zoom way in, you can see that the "bend" is the shadow. That said, I'd hope the gash of missing paint near the head tube top tube junction is a scratch and not fatigued/bent steel. It's probably a scratch, but it'd be worth a close look if it were mine.
