Im not rich, but I ride a RIH

As the saying goes - If its dutch it wont cost much.

Picked up the frame cheap of an internet auction, and it was dirty and a bit banged up. Frame number indicates early 70ies. I love the lugwork - so smooth and simple. The italian components, Campy nuovo record gear and brakes, were not cheap. The Brooks saddle I got of a friends "container-bike", and the hubs(normandie) and rims (mavic module 3) are from a gas-pipe Gitane my brother owned as a kid. Pedals to. Got Campy NR hubs waiting in the basement. It not perfect, yet, but it rolls. And what a smooth and sweet ride it is. Bustraan-bros knew what they were doing.
