Hi all, I am new here, and have really enjoyed this particular thread. LeoBoon's stories and pictures are great to see!
Last year, I found a Rih in Enschede during a business trip to the Netherlands, and look forward to sharing and learning more here.
I had been looking for an example, after learning about the history behind the marque and visiting Lester in Van Diemenstraat two years ago.

My frame is nr. 79-124, on the BB so I think it is a Cove (Venlo) example.

Hello,

I was just cleaning out my dads shed and there was a RIH bike made in Amsterdam. I put it on marketplace for 50 euro and got instantly 10 replys form people wanting to buy it witch made me suspicious.

It has frame number 83 122 and it says Model Campognoloy Bustraan Amsterdam. I cant find this model number on your sheet...

Can anyone tell me about the year it was made and some kind of value

Thanks

Welcome, RobSIH !

€50 isn't much money for any bike in decent condition. Certainly not for a RIH. I suspect it is the 122nd bike built in 1983. I also suspect it came from the Amsterdam shop. Where is the serial number located on the frame? Do you perhaps have pictures you can share?

As for value, if it is in good condition and still has the original Campagnolo parts it will be closer to €500 than to €50.

Looking for one
 
I'll be in the Netherlands the last half of March - would take a bike or frame back with me...

Red Super Course with chrome, please, (52-53cm).

Hello nin-fixie,

I have 2 pictures but im not allowed to post them. The serial number is locatied at the bar on the front (above the tire / under steering weel). The bike is complete and functioning. Maybe needs new tires and maintenance

Yes, thats correct

Mackers 03-06-24 12:05 PM

If Campaman bids 175, it's worth 350 but you may have to be patient to get it.

non-fixie 03-07-24 02:20 AM

That should clean up really nicely. Looks like bids are moving in the right direction.

pullup 03-07-24 08:38 AM

Yes some patience with this one would be smart and would get you a better price

I also saw that bike with the cheap price on MP. :)

non-fixie 03-07-24 02:49 PM

Currently at €325 and rising. Amazing what a post on Bikeforums C&V will achieve. :)

Mackers 03-08-24 12:17 AM

It is one of the more attractive RIHs with that Saronni-esque livery.

Glad the flippers are getting flushed out.

I found myself a quite modern Rih to replace the silver/ivory one I posted earlier in this thread. That one really was build in my size, this is 1 cm bigger but it is ok for me. Two years ago I had a sad encounter on it with a tourist here in Amsterdam near the Vondelpark and it was ruined beyond repair

A 1999 model according to the number on the headlug 991107, and i also have the Wim written note when he sold it, the owner had saved it so that is a nice touch

So it's not just the roller cases, eh? :(

Beautiful bike. I'm not normally a fan of black tires, but on this bike they look perfect.

BTW, what's holding up that building? Apparently it is not that concrete pillar. :foo:

No unfortunately the three main tubes were crooked and there were some bumps and waves in all of them + the fork was hit as well so I started looking for a more modern Rih like the one above for a replacement.
I had taken pictures on that place before and the crack wasn't there last time :D Looks a little bit ominous I agree

Looks like earthquakes are not only just in Groningen... ;)

The decals and the Italian BB indicate an Austrian RIH (not related to the Amsterdam brand). From Vienna. Nice frame, nonetheless.

WGB 08-26-24 09:28 AM

I wasn't sure but thought that $60 for a Reynolds frame wasn't bad....

No worries, it isn't! And the Vienna RIH's I have seen were all very nice bikes. I'm sure someone is going to be very happy with that frame. :)

unworthy1 08-26-24 11:48 AM

hmmm Petaluma isn't that far away, and it's more or less my size...but do I NEED another project?
Very tempting...:foo:
EDIT: I enquired and it's been sold

Loks like a very nice build frame and those Austrian Rih's are pretty good
