Great bike. That's a small frame. How tall are you? That's the first question and starting point to anything else.
Assuming that the bike fits you, then I agree with others who advised removing the bar foam and replacing the downtube shifters with SunTour barcons. Any decent cork tape would do for you. Those would be my only changes at this point. And, of course, new tires.
