Bikes: Yes, please.

I added another RIH to my own stable. A rather unusual one. The serial number does not jibe with the Amsterdam or Groningen numbering systems, so I'm assuming it came from Blerick. Top tube cable guides and under-the-BB-shell FD cable routing suggest a late seventies build. As does the decal style. And the serial number on the BB shell: 79-113.

I bought it because it is a RIH, it is light, and will take fenders. Should make a nice "randonneuse légère" for mrs non-fixie.



Even with the steel rims and the sturdy tires, it weighs 10 kgs:



The steel-rimmed wheels and aero brake levers are definitely not original, the rest may well be but is a bit of a mixed bag.

Campagnolo shifters:



Shimano Crane RD:



Weinmann 605 brakes:



Davis BB shell with the serial number:



I guess I found myself another Corona-time project.
