I guess it is one of true RIHs. Look at the pictures, if you can assist to sort it out: apx. year of built from lug work, etc.. My guess is, it is done by master Wim van der Kaaij, not Fongers of Cove. Will do my best to make it all period correct.
I just did 135 km at Eroica 2015 in Gaiole in Cianti and get more exsited by vintage bikes. There is another RIH track puzle I am investigating right now. I know the frameset is another circa, but I decided to come as close as I can to make a RIH track bike to memoriate my uncles win in Word Championship on the track in 1967. At that time he had no choice, but to go under USSR flag. I have some photos with him on the bicycle riding the track in Mehico at 4000 m distance he won. It was track bike build by RIH specialy for him. On the picture as far as I can see the bike is marked as RIH sports. Does RIH have a record of those 63 track bikes they build for World Champions and where the information shall be?
