Option #1 should replacing that Regina freewheel with a Japanese 6- or 7-speed, which will have a more shift-friendly teeth profile. Replace the chain with a good SRAM "8-speed." If you are still unhappy, replace that parallelogram derailleur with a SunTour. (The Campag. front should be fine.) Route the rear brake cable over the handlebars.

GREAT looking bike, by the way, and I am not surprised you are pleased with the ride quality.
