But I really liked my night ride last night. It was in the 60's, cool but nice so no extra clothing required, - and like usual, I was OTB (along with a few others) on all the climbs

That's the perfect use for a crappy old gaspipe bike. Who cares how heavy it is, as long as it fits reasonably well and the back wheel is round. It's not like you have to push it up any hills and no one is gonna see you riding it.
