Gerrit Bontekoe senior (1893-1962) was a Dutch champion on the tracks who participated in three world championships and the Olympic Games in London. After an accident he started bike brand Bontekoe in Den Haag.

This Super Course track bike is a real Bontekoe, since it was used in competitions by Gerrit Bontekoe junior. He never attained the status of his father, but was a good amateur track cyclist.

Peter Ravensbergen is the proud owner of this bike and the entire prize collection of Bontekoe senior.
