And this sort of affinity to a bike is more important that a few specs on paper. That being said, one or two considered upgrades can make it an even nicer ride. I would consider modern-era Shimano dual-pivot brake calipers such as these Shimano r451 calipers which will make stopping a bit more consistent and some modern compound tyres in 25-28mm (if they can fit inside the frame) to give a bit more comfort. Good luck with it. Post up some pics when done.
