well, you can either flip your wheel over and ride a single speed or you can buy a new frame and a new rear wheel and some front and rear derailleurs and scrap everything from the old bike into the new one. or you buy a complete bike off cl for cheap or build a different one up at the oven or kitchen or something.

Keep this classic all together and original. It'll look better and be worth more.

you can't put a rear wheel with a cassette in that bike. the spacing between the dropouts would be too small.
check craigslist for road frames or better yet, go to the bicycle kitchen. you can put a road bike together there and learn all about your bike and how to maintain it.
