As a basic bike boom 10-speed, it is probably well worth what you paid, particularly if it fits you as well as you indicated.

Check the lengths of the slots in the brake calipers. If you can move the front and rear brake pads down 4mm, you can install 700C wheels, which are pretty easy to find, new or used. Replace at least the brake pads (KoolStop salmons rule!), if not the brake cables and housings.
