Hello everybody,
I have a chance to pick up a bicycle owned by rick van Looi, it's a plum vainquer made in the city Gent in Belgium. I tried to figure out which teams were connected to Rick van Looi but i could not find any matching information. Maybe it's a trainings bicycle, i just don't know. I know that this woman who's is selling the bike is not making just a nice storie, because the "rick van looi" thing was never told in the advert, she was just excited because i'm the 4th owner after rick van Looi. Before that it was the bike of her grandfather, father and herself.
this are the teams were Rick was riding for:
1953 - l'Avenir1953 - Gitane-Hutchinson1954 - Gitane-Hutchinson1954 - Touring-Pirelli1954 - l'Avenir1955 - Van Hauwaert-Maes1955 - Girardengo-Eldorado1956 - Faema-Guerra1957 - Faema-Guerra1958 - Faema-Guerra1959 - Faema-Guerra1960 - Faema1961 - Faema1962 - Flandria-Faema1963 - G.B.C.-Libertas1964 - Solo-Superia1965 - Solo-Superia1966 - Solo-Superia1967 - Willem II-Gazelle1968 - Willem II-Gazelle1969 - Willem II-Gazelle1970 - Willem II-Gazelle does anybody know if there are teams riding with plum vainquer bikes?
here are some pics of the bike, they are not made by me because i have to pick up the bike this week.
