What looks so wierd about this bike?
It's way too immaculate. I think it's a lot older than what the seller has listed. I had an F-400 (It's been so long ago I can't remember the model number exactly) which was a newer model. Exact same color scheme too. Got that maybe 15 years ago. But it had one of those head tube shocks. He's asking $300 for it. I gave mine away a couple years ago. But then mine wasn't in such fine shape though. Maybe he should have listed it in the collectibles section.
Your right though about screwy geometry. Especially with a large frame and street tires. I recall several people asking if mine was a folder.
