I broke it !! Is it worth fixing ???





ouch!!!
Hi everyone ,
Made a trip across the Tasman sea to Australia (Brisbane )
While there I purchased a Gitane Criterium just to muck about on while there .
The day before I flew home I was riding uphill when there was reasonable loud clack and the back wheel started wobbling all over the place .
On investigating I found a break as pictured.
What would be involved in fixing?
Does the spear off the dropout have to come out of tubes ? (if you get the drift)
Have stripped the bike of parts and flown home with a very full suitcase.
The frame resides at my mothers place in Brisbane till I figure out what I will do with it .
Thanks in advance for your feedback .
At worst I bought a pile of good parts with a dead frame attached !

A couple of pics of rail trail between kipper- ring and Petrie north of Brisbane also attached .
