Wow, a 2004 thread revived in 2011 and revived again in 2017! I'll chime in because I've been riding my UO-8 since about 1972. Put decent alloy wheels on it with good tires, install Suntour Vx or VGT Luxe derailleurs, replace all the steel bits with alloy as you can afford it, and you'll have a nice road bike.
