1958 - RIH Super Legere

I´m not quite sure if  Franz Hamedl, who founded Radsport RIH in Praterstrasse, Vienna did think of his brand beeing in business for over 80 years? Unfortunately and due to the rebirth of cycling. But I´m convinced that RIH will be happy to celebrate 100 years in near future (2033).


Franz Hamedl in addition was one of the co-founder of Österreichrundfahrt/ Tour of Austria. From 1949 to 1995 it was a race for amateur cyclists, turning into a professional event in 1996. THus you can imagine that RIH lightweights were build for race and sports.

Luckily I was able to source this beautiful RIH Super Legere frame:
