The housing, cables and tape are regular maintenance and the pedals are preference. I think it'd be worth doing. And shouldn't cost $200.

Is that an aluminum frame? The rear spacing is probably 126mm. If both of those are true, you won't be able to upgrade the drivetrain past 7-speed. But since you're leaving it pretty much stock as a once or twice a month bike, that shouldn't be a worry, but just thought you should think about that.
