I think that through the years I advised dozens of people who asked me for advise for their planned A'dam visit. Bike related I always recommended to include RIH in the trip, also because it is situated in the very nice Jordaan quarter. At some point I learnt that the reception in the shop could be a bit short or cold. Perhaps when Vd Kaaij was kept of his work by possibly the 5th tourist that day, who of course didn't buy a frame, part or whatever. Maybe RIH could have develloped a specific line of memorabilia for those enthousiasts. There wasn't. I think Vd Kaaij is more an excellent framebuilder than marketingman. Not a shame.
