Advice on a bike from craigslist

The specs are below. I'm 5'10, so size wise it sounds good. I had been planning on getting a Bianchi Volpe/Axis, Specialized TriCross Sport, something along those lines, to use as a training bike/commuter. This seems like a decent bike build, and the price is right .

What do people think about it, and what advice does anyone have on what to check when I go look at it?


Miyata Single Speed New Build


Gearing - 40 in the front and 18 in the rear. It is a flip flop hub


Frame and Fork:
Miyata 310, Cr-Mo, Triple Butted. I believe the frame is from the mid-80's. Very nice condition, no dents, a

Tires:
Spicialized All Condition 700c X 28 - New condition
few very minor scratches.

Brakes:
Complete Shimano 105 group, levers, calipers, and cables. Anodized Blue. - New and unused

I just finished building this bike up, it runs very smooth, its light and quick. I'm 5'11" and the bike fits me
fine. The bike would fit anyone from 5'8" to 6'
