Changed my old piece of shit bike for my other (less) piece of shit bike. Any recommendations?

This POS bike had been my teenager life companion, and now that I'm 28 I decided to bring it back to life.

You may remember that time ago I posted this beautiful Legnano bike but, as beautiful as it is, it became a money pit. It absolutely OBLITERATES the brake pads every few days and the tubes don't last more than two weeks without getting punctures. I'll never get rid of it, but it's not suitable for everyday use.

So I decided to repair my old Reynoso Hnos. MTB bike from the 90's instead (you'll never be able to find that frame – it doesn't exist anymore anywhere, I might have an unicorn). The difference is like night and day. It runs so smoothly! It barely makes any noise, the only drawback is the smaller size (29 vs 24) but I get accustomed to it.

I still have to change some minor parts, so I'm looking for recommendations. What are some good budget handle grips, and some nice pedals with reflective parts?

Thanks, I hope you liked this post 💜
