RIH-Sport Amsterdam 1921-2012 tribute 20 mei 2012

After almost a century of manufacturing bikes in the Jordaan area in Amsterdam RIH-sport will be closing the 20st may.

The owner Wim van der Kaay has been making bikes for over 40 years and will retire at 76.
I am glad to see that there will be a tribute ride over the Amsterdam canals for RIH owners on their old or not so old Rih's. Everybody that owns a Rih is invited it will be fun.

I will certainly attend and try to make pictures.

I will sure be there. Good reason to finally finish my flamboyant red RIH. Real pity RIH closes doors. The last true traditional competition bike builder in Holland and a palmares with 63 World and Olympic titles - you would think there would be a market in a world that seems to value local stuff and old world quality a bit more than a couple years ago.

A little extra info:

People are welcome with their Rih's from around 10.00 and the honorary canaltour starts at 13.00.

I probably will be attending on my babyblue RIH

I bought the frame last year from Mel, build it and bring it out to tour on sunny days

You're welcome with another bike too. I would take something proper with me, but you won't be shot.

Uhmm... :roll: I think you're in the safe mode when you show up with a RIH, Zieleman, PEKA, Presto, Duell, Vittorio and that kind of stuff. Something fine steel, preferably Dutch.

However, if Chinese carbon is the best you have, I wouldn't hesitate to come.

Seems like it's going to rain. I really really love to live in a country with no mountains, no hills, no stones, always grey and cloudy, rainy and cold weather. Even in May. Even people is cold. How nice ehh??? Hope to scape from here sometime soon. Hope mister RIH emigrates to another place for his retirement and enjoys sun and mountains bike climbing. That's my wish for him.

Pity you couldn't be there. I've been there and it was great. About one hundred people attended is my rough estimate. We did some miles along the canels. Of course the peloton of RIHs was quite an attraction in the Amsterdam innercity.

Mr Vd Kaaij enjoyed very much.
