There's a very good chance it will still need to be sprung for your weight (ask the guy you're buying it from how much he weighs and if he had it re-sprung to suit).

The only issue here is the change in head angle which will slow the steering. Again, you'll be best if you can take the time to set the bike up correctly rather than trying to qualify with a bike that won't go round corners.
