I'm not sure what you mean by, "brakes on handle bars hanging." Do they need to be replaced or tightened?

If the they need to be replaced:
Brakes -- $20
Bar Tape -- $7

+S&H $9.25
For a total of $62 - 10% off (APR44--expires after sunday the 6th) = $56

You're probably going to spend $100-$150 getting a used bike of similar quality (from a few quick craigslist searches -- you may be able to find something at a yard sale or thrift store for cheaper). And the used bike may or may not need some of the minor things replaced as this bike needs.

"Just replaced a spoke (on a 27" wheel) and the wheels need a good trueing." You're an optomist if you think you're going to be able to fix them with a spoke wrench.
