Great deal!

Good deal, are the extra frame bars between the stays OG, just sold one and pulling out another and neither has those, wonder if they are earlier?

They are original; frames with those stays are called the "military" frame. They are much less common than ones without the extra stays.

Ha worst thing about Craigslist though is when they don’t follow up, it’s quite possible the bike hasn’t sold, and then the ad expires and your email link doesn’t work anymore to recontact.
