Richard Depoorter commemorated ...
When riding a vintage bicycle and someone calls you and says 'look what I've got here to get rid of', it's happy days. Fell in love with the lugs, internationally seen (Cinelli, Galmozi, BRH, JNA, Aandewiel, ...) and most propable casted in sand by EKLA (Belgium). To honour a Flandrien named Richard Depoorter who won two times Luik-Bastenaken-Luik but unfortunatly died under mysterious circumstances (as a potential winner he was run over by a following tourcar) in the Tour of Switzerland 1948, the bike is called 'La Doyenne'. Richard died on the 16th of june, the very same day Gino Mäder died in the same Tour in 2023.
