If you paid $500 or less, you did just fine on that bike. Celeste Bianchis are cool. Even a bit more.
The 9 speed Shimano 105 stuff is bomb proof and reliable. I have not ridden a Bianchi since a touring Randonneur in the 1980s, but people love theirs...particularly the CdI

Mavic CX series wheels aren’t cheap either. They are good trainer, all condition wheels.
And Cromor is really good tubing. Not SL or SLX, but high quality nonetheless.
