I think its nice. The old school 27" bikes are good on smooth roads. A 36t sprocket makes them fly. I had the same exact setup once except for the handlebar.
The pipe proved to be a leg burner though.
Now I prefer wider tyres. The 27 x 1.25" tyres are hard to source and don't last long unless you can get good ones. Much wider choice with 26".
