Re:

Bianchi were an approximate Italian equivalent to Raleigh. For every 1000 bikes they made perhaps one was a top end racing bike.

What you have is a lower spec bike, no doubt well worth what you paid. If mine I would not spend much on it, but it is yours to do as you like. It appears to have had a repaint.

The main difference in Continental bikes and British of the time is that the continentals were not bound by legal requirements regarding pedal to front wheel clearance, and they knew how to make frames with decent angles.
