Looking a bit tired next to the Gents' model, this Durkopp loop frame bicycle is nevertheless a classic example of German quality. The art deco fender mascot is worth the price of admission.
This bike was a ten dollar purchase from my old friend Louis Challoner, first of Janesville, and later, Delavan Wisconsin. Louis and I shared many a bowl of homemade soup together while talking about bicycles in his Delavan bike shop.
