It looks really sweet. It also doesn't look That racy. You might eventually get a shorter stem (it looks like that one is about as high as it can be) and also bars with shorter reach and drop---those look to be some old-school giant bars.

A bike like that, if you maintain it well, should sell for about the same as you paid. a few years down the line, if you decide to replace it. if it were me, I'd keep that forever if it fit me. There are always going to be more bikes out there, but we have to snatch up the good ones when the present themselves.

You could buy a cheap cargo bike for grocery-getting on the side, where riding position wasn't super-important because you only planned to do trips around town ... or sit back and wait for a smallish touring bike to show up in the classifieds, and be riding this in the meantime---then all your cycling needs would be covered.
