Gitane duallie relic - worth saving?

[FigBo0T]

I saw this while trawling the dark corners of the interwebz. For sale locally for peanuts. This is the only image.

I can't find any info online about Gitane duallies. Anyone know what it is? It looks like it could have potential .... Is it worth a resurrection?

They want money for it?

[hifiandmtb]

I'd offer one Woodstock.

Got you mixed up with another bloke who posted asking about a $300 BMC (bike brand) trail bike. Never mind me mate.

I've been looking at those things. They aren't cheap, for what looks to be very breakable equipment, if it happened to stray off road.

can you weld?

can you weld?

Sometimes. Would you ride something that I welded?

 

[fatboyonabike]

you can use the same analogy for welding "if you can't tie knots, tie lots"....add gussets and weld the shitter out of it!

Mine would be more to the left.

Tig welder Vs 2 car batteries and a rusty piece of coat hanger

 

[born-again-biker]

[fatboyonabike]

the one on the right was Haakon I believe!

Don't listen to these wowsers - that's a diamond-in-the-rough if ever I've seen one!
Be quick though - I reckon @safreek has prolly already made an offer.
