Welcome to BF. You are right in that your introductory post here is a bit tldr-ish. Still...
A UO-8 frame makes a good upgrade bike. Even among the high-end-Italian lovers here you will find plenty of UO-8 love.
My own has Sun rims, Sugino crank, MKS pedals, alloy stem, bar, seatpost, Suntour deraiulleurs, a bottle cage, etc. Its homage to its French origins includes Simplex shift levers, the original Mafac brakes, the original headset. And it comes with 47 years' worth of scratches and wear.
