That bike is a piece of dirt. Opinion: look for a 1980's or newer sport touring road bike, as those are light enough to be enjoyable to ride and have practical points, like fender and rack eyelets and clearance for larger tires.

I should add - your intended use sounds more like commuting, in which case, I suggest you post in the commuting sub-forum. You aren't looking for a road-racing bike, which is, for better or worse, what most people in this sub-forum espouse.
