You have a rare bike with almost all of the original components. Do not do anything irreversible. The derailleurs are cr@p, but they do work, and having a hanger for the rear is a huge plus. I love the half-step gearing -- what is it, 49-46 / 14-16-18-20? With the standard 3-bolt circle and Simplex 3-to-6 adaptors, you can put any standard 6-bolt 157mm BCD chainrings on it. If it fit me (55cm C-T), I would not have hesitated to pay $60 for it. Put on new brake cables and KoolStop pads and enjoy it!
