Tektro levers, new-ish wheelset & saddle are reasonable improvements regardless of your size or riding style. The stem and bars are different but not what I would consider an improvement.
I paid a little more than that last weekend for a MV version that was a low mileage original basement queen for a future build project and about the same price for an '85 with 600.
We discussed the price and he is willing to come off to $330 which I felt was about right. We are meeting in the morning for me to inspect it and take it for ride.
