Looks like a fine bike. It wouldn't be the lightest around with all steel parts, but it would be fun still. Gearing depends a lot on the person and how many hills or wind you'll encounter. I would start with a lower gear ratio and move higher if you feel comfortable. With that bike, the 46x16 seems high, but maybe you are pretty strong already?? A 17t freewheel would lower it if you wanted.
