You have the right attitude about your bike and what it actually is, and I can also understand why some here get bent out of shape, too. Ride it and enjoy it, be honest with someone that asks for details and keep it inside, it looks very inviting. Good job on the rebuild work. Great to know you have gotten into riding it daily as your commuter, fantastic!
Also, it looks like your brake arms are too short, probably should have different diameter wheels for that frame and fork. The brake pads will hit against the tire sidewall, possibly. You may want to look into longer reach brakes, along with that too short rear cable that was pointed out above.
