Thanks for any help you can provide
Hello Becka, if it says RIH, it's likely be a RIH. Speciaal was the touring variation, with guards, luggage carrier and lightning. You can almost say for sure it'e a Cové bike, made in Venlo, but still a quality bike. Is it a mixte frame, for the girls, or a standard gents frame? If it has Shimano parts, there are always date codes to be found. A combination of two letters, to be found on brakes and derraileurs. Maybe the cranks, with the "trappers" attached, have a datecode on them. Mostly two digits, like 79 ie 1979.
