caption_attribution_description: English: This is a very a-typical RIH Sport bike built in 2001 in Amsterdam by Wim van der Kaaij. It is not built out of the usual Reynolds tubing but out of the Italian Columbus (Max) tubing.
context_page_description: 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.
context_section_description: It has been suggested that RIH stands for Dutch: Rijwiel Industrie Holland (English: Bicycle Industry Holland). However, one of the founders noted in an interview that RIH was named after Kara Ben Nemsi's horse (from Arabic: fast as the wind), a character from the books of Karl May.
  The intertwined "GB" in the company's logo stands for "Brothers Bustraan" (Dutch: Gebroeders Bustraan).
