In the nicest possible way, it's just a commuter. Just fit what will do the job (which is either a23, machined or not, or any number of alternative rims) and away you go.
Any brake pads which fit your shoes will be ok, Koolstop salmon are a good choice as unlike SwissStop Greens they're good at low speed and don't cost too much. They're good in the wet too.
