Sorry, I must have some sort of syndrome. Most forums are full of people who are surprisingly aggressive to people who are looking to be part of an community. I'm looking at the bike in a few days, I'll keep an eye out for what you mentioned and ask the owner an annoying amount of questions. Supposedly he has done the work on it himself, so he should be able to tell me where things are (and if he can't, then that's a sign that something isn't quite right.) I'm very excited about the getting the blast. It seem like (almost) the perfect bike to start with and grown into.
