You did awesome for 30 euros. I love the bike. C'est magnifique.

On any old bike, I'd pull it entirely apart. That will make it easier to get to any issues with the paint. You want to get on top of any rust issues and wax the frame. You will also want to completely overhaul the bike and replace all the ball bearings. Normally I'd replace all the consumables as well but some of these cables will be tough to find so I'd be careful with them. Good luck finding a RD for your bike. For the pump, just measure the distance between the 2 pegs and find a pump to fit.
