Hi, new to the forum....wondering if you can help!
Found a RIH Sport bike in a shed recently, so am curious to find out what year it is from. And if it is an "original" RIH, a Fongers one or a Cové ...
I am not allowed to post pictures yet, I have noticed, but I think I managed to upload some images to my album.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I don't see anything in your albums. Could you try again to upload something?

I guess a early RIH-Cové, maybe even 1973, the first year of the collaboration with Cové.

I've just uploaded an album of my rather battered, but much-loved 1977 Bustraan.
I bought it 3 years ago for <£10 on Uk eBay and It’s been used as a town bike & winter trainer and now I’m turning it into a fixed gear audax bike for 200, 300, & 400km events.
I'm considering repainting some of the more rusty bits - does anyone have any ideas on paint matching for the classic 70's Rih Blue?

I also found this picture of a "RIH/Fongers supersportfiets 1966" on h ttps://fongers.net/rijwielen/1960-1970/

Look&feel quit similar to the bike I just found. Some obvious differences too, though.

Yep, I see. But I did not see a number on the lower head lug, as is usual with RIH/Fongers. And the 181 under the bracket ...
