If the only part that is keepable isn't quite right... it doesn't sound like it's a keeper. Have you ridden newer bikes? There's a lot of good, new technology. You could even get a newer used one.
There's something to be said for building the bike you want... I'd be talking to that LBS about doing just that with something new.
I've graduated from the idea that the commuter bike should be a beater... my dream bike one of these...
