let the market decide

No long ring on the converted rear hub?

sorry, what do you mean by long ring?

lock ring?

God, yeah, sorry, brain is on it's last legs today... lock ring.

no, no lock ring, its not pista hub

It has Holland on the badge, not as rare/nice as the ones with Amsterdam on
but still a ok bike! Decent parts on though.

JC Chapi... you mad?

JC Chapi... you mad?

why?

unless that's a typo and you had intended to price it at €250... suicide hub, reynolds 500... parts bin cranks and pedals.

€550 is offensive.

ja, correct
250eur was then bike was original with original steel wheels and hubs and old "gears" 2x6. Then was 250eur, its RIH, mitx frame and however reynolds tubs, good condition.

Now it upgraded and all added parts cost: hubs however campa- old record, nice and good rims, brakes, other small parts + service and finally 500eur without shipping.
suicide hubs till its fixy, it can be single speed.

its Rih and nice mixte, for city, its fast, light and special =)

ps
meybe better was keep it original and get 250eur, but finally result is ok, its lighter and faster and still with many old parts.

is the frame made in the Jordaan by the brother's descendants or in the factory ?
It should have a serial no. on the head tube if Jordaans , if so better , if not--mmmm

ok, thanks =)
serial no. is under bottom bracket, then in factory?

yes

the old guy who runs the Jordaan is the Grandson of one the original Bustran bothers.
he told me he's retiring soon, with no apparent 'heir' to the business-
I was going to buy a track frame off a young fella who worked there seemed to have his head screwed on re track bikes/market-
new blood could save the brand/company )
the brand split i think into R I H and RIH sport.
A speculative comment-
if the Jordaan closes, would the original bikes with headtube serial appreciate?

I would be interested in the frame, but not in the build.

only frame and fork 200eur posted UK/EU

and I have same frame (without fork)- RIH Speciaal Reynolds 500, same collors. New, not used:

also 200eur

Also not a mixte.

I'll have a think, but tbh I think I'll probably give it a miss. As nice as it is I don't think it's nice enough to spend that kind of money on before I've even seen it (sorry, I'm an internet shopping ludite).

why its not a mixte?

ja, ja, correct, need touch =)
