Looks ok to me
mountain bike frames are useful to convert for commuting or touring
they're solid and tend to have a more upright (comfortable) riding position than a road racer...

Looks pretty normal to me. What do you think of a Challenge NME?

The crank mounting arm turns with the front wheel. That is why it is limited to use on tracks without sharp bends.

The front wheel turns independent of everything else relying on the chain twisting.
Remember the wheel only turns a very small amount for high speed cornering.
