The only negative I see is that someone evidently hacked off the Campagnolo derailleur tab to make room for that Simplex with its claw adaptor. The crankset looks like my Agrati, with the very strong integral spider and arm. The Simplex 3-to-bolt system restricts you to 44 or more teeth on your chainrings but you can mount a 50-36 unit directly to your spider. A Gran Sport rear derailleur would be good for 26T, and a combination such as 50-36 / 14-26 would get you decent range for those hills.
