exactly.. bike sounds fine.. if the frame breaks in half.. get a new one.. until then have fun on that one..
p.s. I dont think it's going to break in half.

I agree!
If the frame is working for you, then keep it until it breaks or until you actually have money for a new one. So maybe some good 3-piece cranks... Or a good cassette hub. There is a LOT available to upgrade on your bike before the frame, and if you are happy with what you have, then stick with it.

if you like the feel, stick with it, just dont ride it past its limits, that how you get seriously screwed up.
