RIHSport Amsterdam since 1921

RIH Sport Amsterdam specializes in hand-build, high- performance road and track bikes. Founded in 1921 by the brothers Bustraan, RIH Sport Amsterdam has over 95 years of experience, covering 4 generations of bike builders and 63 world- and Olympic champions.

It’s our goal to build the perfect premium performance bike for each of our clients. 
A bike that will last them a lifetime.

Each bike is the product of a close collaboration between rider and builder – We don’t just want to know what your measurements are, we want to know how you want to use your bike and what your personal preferences and goals are. Since all bikes are completely custom-built, we are able to tailor each bike to the specific individual needs of its rider.

RIH SPORT Cycling Club

Are you the proud owner of a RIH SPORT road or track bike? Then register it with our Cycling Club and share the story of your bike. To celebrate our 100-year anniversary, we are looking for the current owners and locations of as many RIH SPORT racing bikes as possible. Whether you ride it or not, whether it’s in mint or deplorable conditions, it doesn’t matter. Do you know anybody that owns a RIH SPORT, please send them through. When you register your bike, we’ll look up all the information we have of your bike as well. Membership is free, it’s easy to register and you will be invited to all our events and special offers. This year for instance we’re celebrating our anniversary at the Ronde van de Westerstraat in front of our old factory, where we will organize a RIH SPORT only criterium and several other events.
RIH SPORT has a new look. Our new logo is a modern take on the mark that was used on our bikes from our early beginnings in 1921 up until the late 1960’s.

4 generations of bike building excellence

RIH was founded in 1921 by the brothers Bustraan. From their workshop in de Westerstraat they produced the custom-made steel bikes. In 1948 the two brothers handed over the business to Willem jr.. He then teamed up with Wim van der Kaaij who had learned the trade from an early age always helping in the shop as an apprentice.

Since mister van der Kaay’s passing in 2014, we have been re-envisioning our bikes and production methodologies, embracing the RIH Sport values and heritage in every facet of our process and product, in order to serve each client’s needs to perfection.
