You just described mine to a T, minus the hubs.
I love it, and use it as my commuter. It's a bit on the heavy side but is a blast to ride. Mine was basically NOS, and I think that I ended up paying $300 for mine, including shipping.
It's currently getting about 28 miles per day on the commute, and going strong.
I really like the 600 and, if it were me, would keep it geared.
