Do you know anything about the seller? Knowing that it’s a repaint, I just would really worry about those lugs, that the seller is either uninformed or being deceitful. Also, like the others, I would start my search at a lower price point if vintage bikes were a new hobby. Asking folks here is a good first step — this group is generally quite helpful and generous with opinions (for better or worse!).

EDIT: Sorry, you said the ad specifies “refurbished,” not necessarily a repaint. I dunno, I still get a funny feeling from this one.
