Nice. You can see by my signature I'm a Miyata fanboy. But, you really have to get rid of that Fizik boast tape and use some twine, like what Rivendell sells. Speaking of Riv, I was there yesterday and if your fixed up bike was new and for sale at Riv it would be $3K.
These have wonderful years for acquiring great classic frames and cobbling together some amazing bikes. So much more artistic, aesthetic than a carbon vunder bike that cost $3K.
In-line brakes are amazing. Once you start using them any bike without them seems primitive/dangerous.
