Brought it home...took it apart...horrendous build...tubes all twisted, everything else either too tight or too loose! No shortage of grease though! Put it back together, rode it...fell in love!
I bought mine back in 2015 off Craigslist for a steal. Mine was a "garage queen" for probably 20 years or so. I got it off a college kid here in town who graduated from VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University), it originally was his dad's bike, new in 1985. Long story short, once the kid grew up and went to college, the dad cleaned up the bike and gave it to his kid to ride around campus. Once the kid graduated, he didn't need it anymore and surprisingly enough, the dad didn't want it back. So, the college kid put in on Craigslist. I saw the ad and jumped on it before anyone else. It's darn near in MINT condition!
