According to Sheldon Brown, you can get parts for them, but you have to be willing to pay a little more.
Yeah I was in touch with Sheldon Brown and well, I didn't get the feeling that it was a superb bike but then again not a bad one. The one was looking at was in nice shape but I contacted the seller and have not heard back.
I think I will still stick with my original plan and get a new bike with all the bells and whistles I want for my commute in one price. Get it all out of the way at once.
Thanks all for your opinions.
