Backstory: this was a decent lugged steel frame with unicrown TIG welded fork, made in Taiwan hybrid back from about 1991 or 1992. It had straight handlebars and midlevel Shimano parts. I bought it because I wanted to build a bike that took 700x42 Soma Cazadero tires for mixed surface and ditch bank and bosque rides. Hence the drop bar conversion in the photos. In the meantime, I bought a more purpose built frameset that took wider tires, making this frame redundant.
It would make a good touring bike, commuter, or monstercross or cross bike. The geometry is more relaxed, more forgiving than a true cyclocross bike, but it's not boring or slow or truck like either.
It's about a 59 to 60cm frameset. If you're 6 feet to 6 feet 3 or 4, it will probably fit you.
I have other parts, mostly high quality vintage, that I will consider selling; please ask specific questions and send a phone number.
Again, the photo shows a complete bike; what's for sale for $140 is a frame, fork, headset. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE BIKE. Sorry for the virtual shouting; but people are sometimes really, really clueless.
