Nice bike. What size is the frame? Your sister must be tall.
Is it an optical illusion, the top tube seems to slope downward from the saddle to the head tube.
Bikes from this era can be extremely nice, my '84 Centurion still gets ridden regularly.
That's exactly what I did and the problem was solved. The frame is 60cm. My sister is tall (5'11") but I think the bike may have been a touch large for her. It's fine for me but I think I could handle the next size up. I'm 6'2". I also have a 59cm Lemond and it feels larger to me.
The top tube is level. Must have been the angle of the photograph.
