RIH (bicycle)
RIH is a Dutch bicycle manufacturer. The company is one of the last private bicycle builders in the Netherlands. RIH has its origins in three companies: ''RIH Sport'' in Amsterdam, ''Fongers'' from Groningen and ''Cové'' from Limburg (Netherlands), Limburg. History RIH was founded in 1921 by Willem (Wim) and Joop Bustraan at Westerstraat 150 situated in the working-class neighborhood Jordaan, Amsterdam. In 1928, Willem Bustraan Jr. joined the business with his father and his uncle. The two brothers handed over the business to Willem Jr. in 1948. He then teamed up with Wim van der Kaaij who had learned the trade from an early age always helping in the shop as an apprentice. He was the sole owner of the business and still built frames until into his 70s, mostly Track bicycle, track (racing) bikes. He died in 2014. Through the 1960s ''Fongers'' built lightweights in series under the RIH name, but this cooperation ended when Batavus-Intercycle acquired ''Fongers'' in 1970. Abou ...
