For Sale: RIH Pursuit track bicycle - full Campagnolo C-rec & Ghibli's

Frame; 1989 RIH-sport pursuit frame. I 'found' the frame several years ago in the US. I do recall
it being sold earlier on Ebay (2009) for $1350 (frame + fork). With a cracked top tube that was..

The bike was build for a Dutch team rider for the 1990 World championships in Japan, but has
been used on numerous track events afterwards. I've been told about 15 RIH pursuit frames
have been build.

It had had its top tube replaced and it's been repainted afterwards by Wim vd Kaaij (builder at RIH)
who quit working at the beloved store in the Westerstraat last May.. This has been one of the last bikes
he worked on. The frame has the tiniest of wobbles in the down tube (it apparently crashed at some
point causing the crack and the wobble), but I've been guaranteed by Mr. van der Kaaij that it's
straight and (race/) rideable!! It has been outside once after it was finished, for the RIH tribute
ride (10 kilometres) over the Amsterdam canals (there are pictures of this!). So it looks like brand
new. Got a couple (2/3) of tiny scratches from the installation of parts.

Rear wheel; Campagnolo Ghibli 700c - not 100% straight but rideable for sure -
WCS colors painted on non-drive side, see pictures.
Front wheel; Campagnolo Ghibli 650c - Great condition
Tires; Vittoria CX tubus - front is great/nos, rear doesn't inflate.. (not glued on the wheels yet)
Bottom bracket; Campagnolo C-record 68mm SPc - great condition
Head-set; Campagnolo C-record - great condition (apart from the lock nut which is scratched)
Crank-set; Campagnolo C-record Pista - 2nd gen lasered logo - correct chainring/bolts - good condition
Pedals; Campagnolo C-record Pista - bit scratched but overall good - good (correct) toe-clips
Toe-straps; Campagnolo record - Not the c-rec ones (white logo) but the ones with the blue logos (matching ;))
Cog; Campagnolo 14t - great condition
Lockring; Campagnolo Pista - NOS (before that one ride)
Chain; Velo - french pista chain - beautiful looking
Seat post; Campagnolo C-record - good condition - could do with a polish
Saddle; Selle Italia leather version - hard to come by - normally you'd see the lycra version - NOS before ride
Stem; Cinelli 1A 100mm - great condition - no logo (might have been polished off) but never seen before
Handle bars; Cinelli LA84 - been cut to appropriate length - NOS before ride
Tape; Benotto - NOS before ride

It took my about 2 years to get it done, and it has only been done for about 6 months now.
Most of the time it has been on display at the Pristine store. I'm really sad to see it go but unfortunately
due to moving house and an expensive graduation project I'm kind of forced to sell it..
Size wise Id say it's about a 57cm effective. I'm normally a 60/62 so this is much to small for me..

Price wise I'm looking to get in the region of £2250.
I'm open to offer on the entire set of parts (without the frame) - **won't consider splitting everything up atm
**I know this might not be the right place but wanted to give it a go, donation will be made upon sale

£2250.

Fuck my ass

That's an expensive ass.......

Dibs chainring bolts.

I'll have the valve caps if they're still up for grabs!!

whoa

I'm transfixed by the gif.

Did you catch it in time?

This is something pretty special.

Awesome...great build.

We all want this! It's finding out who's got that spare 2k in there back pocket...
Any hipster bankers around?

Beautiful bike but my neck hurts just looking at it!.....Good luck with the sale.

Is the rear Ghibli disc a true trackdisc or a converted road disc ?

how did you come up with 2250 pounds? even if you split you won't probably get that much. how much would you ask for frameset and headset?

No Frank.. NOOOOO!!!!! Would be a shame to see this babe leave Amsterdam but i get your sale. I also have to get rid of some stuff due to the same reasons. FML

What mighty gear is on that? No chainring size?

Makes my 53/15 look puny.

This bike simply is more than the sum of its parts, duh. If you don't get it, it's just not for you I guess.

Truly awesome bike Frank, sorry to see you have to let it go :(

£2250! fuuuuuuuuuck

donation will be made upon sale

the usual 10%? :)

For that price you should try eBay or similar.

this

if you've ever looked for an RIH you'll know

Thanks guys!!

It's a track disc, you can only convert Khamsin disc's - not Ghibli's (as far as I know)

Gear is 52/14

I know it's a lot of money but it's absolutely awesome and it's pretty unlikely one as nice
as this will come up for sale again. It's easier to get a Laser ;) (with the right amount of $)

Like said in the begin post I would be surprised if its sells on here but wanted to give it a go!!
Might end up selling all of my track parts instead and keep the frames.. Or just putt this entirely on the bay..

sorry i don't get it, didn't know RIH were worth THAT much.

frame is just awesome anyway. good luck with the sale!

I don't think its the fact its a RIH, I think its the fact its a RIH pursuit

sorry i don't get it, didn't know RIH were worth THAT much.

have a look on the internet and see what you can find then see what price they are going for

Sold. To a local friend!

Awesome! good to see it stay in Amsterdam..
