Check out the head tube angle, looks to be approximately 89 degrees. That's gonna give you some very very quick handling, so quick you might run into something. First $200 takes:

Yep - you never know...but that bike looks like the my first 10 speed (a 'St. Etienne') after I plowed squarely into a raised curb in the school parking lot - a case of distracted riding!

However, my father managed to wrench the fork back forward so that the front wheel would again clear the downtube - and then he rode it around town for the next 10 years.
