Ugly. Not there's anything wrong with that.
Here's mine a few modifications ago.

My everyday rider. I love it.
The Gitane GSD came with steel rims, kinda clunky and poor braking.If you can pick up a used alloy set it makes a big difference in the ride.
I put a Sugino Maxy crank on mine. The Sugino BB spindle was a good fit with the original french BB cups.
