Just plan to swap out the bottom bracket, crankset, pedals, brake pads, freewheel cog and wheels.
Life is too short to buy a cheap bike and then rip it apart only to replace it with more expensive parts. It is actually cheaper to buy the more expensive bike as a whole, as it will cost you way more to buy individual parts to put on a pretty much garbage frame.
