Very pretty! Throw on some new tubs and ride it! It's very sharp-looking and has that classic look of French bikes from that era. Plus Stella is a great name for a bike. PM me if you need help putting on the tubulars, I can tell you how to do it pretty painlessly. Also in my experience these "low end" French bikes tend to ride better than anything else. If the French had anything nailed down it was creating bikes that rode smoothly over rough city streets. FWIW the other thing I noticed about these bikes is the more you fuss with them and change parts, the worse the ride gets. Gommitalia Champions are a good quality cheap tubular that I like.
