' Actually, the basis for the family business was laid by my grandfather, Adiel Volkan ', explains Luc Vereenooghe of the booth he founded with his son at the fair in Kortrijk Xpo. ' My grandfather had been a professional rider and after his career he opened a bike shop in the Bruges-Street Café de Slugfest, near where we now have our workshop. My father Etienne and my Uncle Guido then founded the company in 1960 which makes bicycle frames. I took over the case in 1987 and in the meantime my son Diel, as a third generation, is working in the company. ' VanEenooghe still makes handmade steel bicycle frames. ' We use a special steel alloy and supply our frames to bicycle manufacturers. In his glorious years Eddy Merckx still drove on a bike of which we had made the framework ', knows Luc. 57cm center center 58,5cm center top 57cm top tube
