Vintage Gitane

To buy or not?
First of all... it is my size... 50cm, 30in standover... having troubles finding that.

Gitane Gran Sport Deluxe converted to single speed with respaced and redished rear wheel.
"NEW HP TIRES, NEW SEAT,POST,AND BAR WRAP. NEW CHAIN AND FREEWHEEL.
FRESH GREASE,BEARINGS,CABLES AND HOUSING."

Asking $150.. would be local pickup, so no shipping charges, no assembly required.

I am looking for a single speed/fixed commuter and play bike. My previous Royce Union find with ultra narrow spacing is proving to be a problem... and yes quite heavy.
Would this Gitane be a lighter bike? Something worth fixing up and making pretty?

Is $150 too much.
