From what I see in the small] [Pic, the bike seems to be in very good condition. You ask the biggest improvement you could do, but all the problems indicated are important. Brakes are important. If the pads are old, then replacements are cheap and durable. Do not bother with new brake calipers unless they are so bad that it will perform well even with new pads. Or unless you want to throw money at it. Try the new pads and fit otherwise. Also, inspect the brake cables and housing; if they are in bad shape, you get more performance brake replacements. If cables, housing, is in good shape, a cable cleaning and lubrication may still be in order. You can find all the information you need to do this yourself or online at the library. If the wheels are strong, tires are worn, cubes are good, then just get trued by a qualified person. A set of new wheels, the quality is not cheap, and you may be better to put money for a purchase future bike. Do you wear gloves? Even so, replace the bar tape if desired. It's inexpensive, and you should have little trouble doing it yourself. The money you save to wrap bar you can pay for the brake pads it replaces. If you want a little more cushion, check out tapes gel and the gel pads can be mounted under your choice of ribbon. pedals? Not to mention the type of riding you do or what the problem with the pedals in place. The saddle, make the width properly supports your sit bones. If so, check the angle of the seat. Even a slight angle in the wrong direction can cause discomfort, even on trips short. Plan for adjusting the seat several times until it is. If the seat is still not comfortable or is not matched by its dimensions, go to the bike shop. See what they have to work for you and is still in its budget. Take your bike with you and have them install and adjust seat for you if you want the sale. Do not be afraid to spend a few dollars, do not go too cheap on your comfort. You've saved money for their alignment wheels instead of replacing them. In addition, an appropriate size quality seat can be moved next to his bike in the near future. If you do not need the fenders and lights, then you did well by eliminating them. In terms of weight, however, are not too caught up in it. It will make you stronger.
