Wim van der Kaaij died yesterday. In 1990 Leontien van Moorsel won her first world title in the individual pursuit. Ingrid Haringa was World Champion 1991 in sprint and 1991, 1993 and 1994 World Champion in the points race.All on R.I.H. frames. All in all, RIH bikes were ridden 350 national championships and 63 world championships and Olympic Gold Medals in both road and track events.[2] Among RIHs customers was Gerrit Schulte, pursuit world champion in 1948 (beating the great Fausto Coppi), Arie van Vliet, Jan Derksen and Jan Pronk. During his professional career, Peter Post only rode on frames built by Willem Bustraan (both on the track and road). Even when riding for Willem II-Gazelle and Flandria, the RIH-built frames were painted in the team colors of his sponsor, and rebranded into Flandria or Gazelle.
