Looks like a good fit and you've got the right idea, don't sink big bucks into it. Tires, brake pads, bar tape are all good because that just maintenance. Go ahead, buy the Brooks, just find a safe place for the old saddle because you'll need it when you upgrade to a better frame. Also, be on the lookout for 27' alloy rims to replace the steel rims. I'd ride it as is until then.
