I go to Amsterdam in a week or so ( I can’t wait ) and while I am there I am going to pay a visit here, to RIH.
Apparently they can build you a custom frame for between 1000 – 2000 euros. Ouch!
That’s a bit much for me but that aside I can’t get enough of old bike stores with loads of history and that is definately true with RIH.
Look out for a plethora of pics upon my return, oh and perhaps a very light wallet.
I am also looking to hook up with the guys from Rotterdam fixed… they seem like real nice guys and hopefully I can grip a tyre I have been after while I am out there too.

no need for training man, shortest route is only 320 mile and we’ve booked 2 weeks off work (we’re going on sat the 9th and might come back sat 23rd – the following monday is a bank holiday too, which gives us an extra rest day). we’re gonna take it really easy, probably do about 50 miles per day at a slow pace (thats less than 10mph over 6 hours on average), and have a couple of days where we just chill in villages along the way.
