I don't personally own a Downtube, but I've been on these forums for a few years, and I have not seen any problems related to this model. As you noted, it's a respected brand overall. No gotchas that I can think of.
I went ahead and bought it. It's in good not great shape and should clean up fine. The QR bushings are pretty worn on the handlebars and where it folds but I didn't see any rust or anything.
