As much as I agree on the "nice new bike", it is also worthwile to think about how good your old bike has been to you, in the sense that a magnitude of mileage and years must equal good riding and trustworthyness. Perfectly dialed in as well. A restoration will secure you years to come with comfortable riding to a lesser expense than a new bike. Scratches is nothing but cool to me.
700´s will probably do nicely.
