IMO, you hit the jackpot.
Plenty here to be thankful for, that kind of thing up front would be far worse and way more $$$$$$ to fix.
This is a holy grail of Bianchi's this old, Specialisima, Celeste, bars, stem, HS, levers, crank, BB
and pedals, check, check, check and check.
Pretty much whatever you paid was a deal.
Get to it and make it so, this is going to be fantastic.
