What in the world did you spend 150 dollars on? If the first picture is the before, looks like it needs nearly nothing. I mean grease is cheap so regreasing the bearings is cheap. You can get brake pads for around 10-15 dollars. New black bar tape for under 10. A used nice seat at the coop or CL is probably 5-15 dollars. Pair of tires if you can't find them at the coop could be around 30 or so if you aren't looking for the best. Walmart cable and housing kit for 6 dollars.
I'm not being a jerk but I could have rehabbed the bike for under 30-40 dollars at my coop if I could source tires there. Under 60-70 if I needed to buy new tires.
Edit: just adding this, the reason why I asked is that I want the OP to understand that you can safely refurbish a bike at your coop for around 30-60 dollars no problem. Probably even a fair amount less. I just noticed that you put bar end shifters on the bike, those are pretty pricey by themselves. I sourced a set of 9 speed Dura Ace bar end shifters last week for 20 dollars at my coop.
