Mike De Paepe "cavebear" passed away a few weeks ago due to a tragic accident, and now most of his collection is in my care. I am going to attempt to complete a few of his final projects, but there is more here then I now what to do with. So if there is something you know he had, turbos, frames, motors, and would like buy just shoot me a line. I am open to reasonable offers. He would have wanted his prized parts to stay in a close group of friends.

Condolences to the family.
How very quietly you tiptoed into our world, silently, only a moment you stayed. But what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts.
RIP friend!!!

That would explain a lot. I was in the process of paying for some stuff and I haven't seen any of it come through yet. RIP Mike. You were a good man.

MtnPwnd · « **Reply #21 on:** July 29, 2013, 06:24:15 AM »

Is there any news article that one could read about the accident? I'm curious to find out what happened.

AdrenalineReaper · « **Reply #22 on:** July 29, 2013, 08:30:51 AM »

To say it in a few words and still leave him his dignity.... while at home, he slipped and hit his head. The injuries sustained proved to be fatal. It just proves you should live your life to the fullest, cuz most of the time it's not drag racing or dangerous sports that get you, it's everyday monotonous things in life. We need to respect what days we have left and live them out with no regret.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #23 on:** July 29, 2013, 03:38:48 PM »

That is a crying shame....

RIP Cavebear.. Will always remember the pics of the bike coming off the second floor...and the cool turbo bikes you had..

Eydugstr · « **Reply #30 on:** August 26, 2013, 06:38:28 PM »

My sympathies go out to Cavebear's family. He & his "group" had some great bikes & photos.

Greg H · « **Reply #31 on:** October 26, 2013, 05:56:00 AM »

I'm almost ashamed to say that I've only just found out about Mike passing away . Although I didn't know him personally, I had bought a few bits off him , and during our communications via PMs etc he came across as a really sound guy . Rest in piece mate .
