+1 that is a pretty nice drivetrain. I've got a set of those Cranks too, ran 'em on my Super Course for a month or two and really liked them. Mine have a Biopace big ring though I think.

Not bad looking pedals either. I say Ditch the Brake levers, either for a set of 80's Shimano SLR levers or for some new Tektro or Cane Creek aero levers....and maybe lose the stem shifters in favor of some barcons (although I've got nothing against stem shifters)

oh, yeah...Happy Birthday!

**edit**

heck, with not much effort or $$ you could do a 7 speed freewheel on the rear and throw on some indexed levers

or just ride the heck out of it as is ...its a great jumping off point for all sorts of easy upgrades down the road.
