Best cleaned up and ridden as-is. Low end French bikes are a lot better riders than most people figure. My UO-8 brought that back to me in a very pleasant rush. Still, with my 35 year love of Gitanes, I'm always keeping my eye open for a Grand Sport Deluxe.
At the most, come up with a second set of 27" wheels (alloy rims) and swap them out.
