PS.
The front tire is larger than the rear tire. Gives the illusion the the frame geometry is different.
Wheels are the same size... it is the picture that creates the illusion and one just has to note the position of the brakes relative to the wheels.... if a different wheel size was used fitting the brakes would be a challenge.
Geometry is at least very late eighties and if the cantis are original that also dates the frame as cantis fell out of fashion in the early 90's.
Anyways, it is listed as a drop bar mountain bike and once upon a time a few pioneering individuals rode and raced on these... John Tomac was probably the most successful and well known mountain biker who used drop bars on his bikes.
From 1988...
