VMB-ish: modern gears with classic wheelset and cranks + VMB Ultegra 6700 brakes. Classic Vittoria Tyres.

How about:
Mavic Cosmic 1st gen
Mavic 631 Cranks
Dura Ace 7800 for the rest.P.s. Or 7700 cranks instead of 631 if you want to avoid square taper bottom bracket.
From my experience, the 7700 stis feel cheaper and less precise than both 7400 and 7800. -
Ouf! Well done :)

Ha! I can see why my comment seems like a subtle burn, the pedersen does look odd indeed. I still think your bike looks fabulous despite the perceived similarities.

Such an awesome bike! For some reason it kind of reminds me of a pedersen, I guess it must be the combination of the frame size, top tube slope, long headtube and slammed stem.

Afaik, there‘s two RIH brands. The famous RIH amsterdam bikes have the word amsterdam in their logo. And there‘s a second RIH brand with the RIH logo without the word amsterdam in it. The latter brand resulted from a sale of the name rights or something along those lines. They produced rather large numbers of bread and butter bikes - saw quite a few of them when I lived in the netherlands. OG Rih bikes on the other hand are very sought after, particularly in the netherlands since the frame builder has built for the national team and many other professionals. My guess would be that yours isn’t an original one because of the mudguard eyelets and generous clearances. Still a great rat though and if is indeed a real RIH you made an incredible deal a that price :)
Edit: here‘s the full story https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIH
Pps: this one in the hands of the man himself looks a lot like your frame so it seems like it‘s the real deal!

Looking good! The narrow canti spacing which isn‘t compatible with v-brakes was abandoned in the late 80s afaik.
Love the marin, I got its matching MTB brother:
