Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
RIH was formed in 1921 by the Bustraan brothers in Amsterdam Holland. The name RIH is for the name of an Arabian stallion ridden by one of the characters in a Karl May novel which was very popular at the time (and still are in Europe). RIH's first championship was in 1924 when Jan Hijzelendoorn (a butcher) rode a Bustraan brothers frame to the sprint and 1 kilometer titles in the Dutch National Champions. In 1928 the firm moved to its present address in Amsterdam Also in 1928 Willem Bustraan Jr joined the business with his father and Uncle. In 1948 Wim van der Kaaij joined the RIH business as an apprentice, he is the current owner of RIH It is estimated that RIH frames have been ridden to over 350 national championships in both road and track events and 63 World- and Olympic titles.

It is such a joy to watch true craftsmen at work.
The gents at RIH are true old school.............a vanishing breed
Hardcore will never die !
the best part is the end when he lifts the frame, shows it for the camera and is proud of his work
yes, i'm very very close to tears. it's beautiful..
One of their older road frames on eBay for $250. I am tempted
Frame building is not as easy as one would think. All of the filing, fitting, sawing and hammering causes major tendonitis. It is hard work and rewarding work. You have to respect these guys as they are taking no shortcuts. The only way is the right way.
Sublime !
Prachtig!
Bravo bravo
wonderfull!
Nice! He should try and make like a 21 century frame. Just use the basic structure. No?
