I take "Euro" as a compliment!

That's rad, but is the front tyre actually touching the DT?!

Also, what is that pedal/strap setup?

Tooooight.

I like 3/4 of that bike but I can not stomach those drop outs. I want one though IF they can fabricate different ones.

Rad bike.

I like everything except the pink ourys.

nah pink ourys are rad. The saddle is the only thing I would change! The frame is HAWT

dat clearance 00
Chorus Seat post not for me...

Rych is rad, does it replace the low?

Think I would prefer a different seatpost though, DA Easton, nitto 72/65 or wonky Thomson.

Also, have to share this here...

I reckon that rychtarski is gonna be lethal on wet surfaces with sand and pine needles and whatnot. Hope you have proper insurance for your teeth and/or fullface helmet. That aside, looks rad as hell.

Nice! I like the ourys actually, but with them it needs a pink saddle or a saddle with pink details...

Not as nice as some whips here, but it's my one do-all bike. Need to swap to some slicker tires, debating b/w Gators, Paselas or something else, I want to squeeze in some 32s I found on kijiji if they fit. Also need to properly adjust the fenders andget a front brake, as well as possibly throw a freewheel on as well. If I can sell the frame, I'm hoping to move to a Pompino with some bigger tires.

edit: I also want to change the cranks to some S300's, and better pedal straps.

How much are Rychtarski charging for a track F+F? Very tempted as if I get a 55cm top tube and 60cm seat tube I can have a properly sized stem.....

a couple of guys in the t-rex camp found short but tall frames at njs-export. maybe 60cm is a bit much asked for but ild check it out if i were you

Might give it a go, can probably go to 58cm but I run a front brake so if it was NJS vs custom, I'd rather go with a Rychtarski depending on price.

55x60?? that's a proper t-rex!

Yeah I know, that and back problems = shitty sizing. Running an 80mm stem at the moment but would be nice to have a properly proportioned stem for once.

Not sure that a properly proportioned stem will make a big difference on a non-proportioned frame :)
Do you have any example of a frame with these proportions?

This. Plus the saddle.

A MAX Tarck frame would probably be around ~€750. Rough guess.

Not found any off the peg at that size. Competitive Cyclist calculator seems to think a 59cm ST and 55TT and 100mm stem is around right, and from my riding position currently on a 58cmTT with an 80mm stem, I'd say it's about right.

Both looking good Tom

Big thanks for the road frame, done about 600 miles on it so far and loved each and every one!

Converted my All City Nature Boy to 1x9 today, sorry for shit instagram pic!

guise..

i'm now shopping at on-one to do some pre-winter preps because i now have a bit of money after sales and i'm moving to a snowy country; berlin, germany.

so, i've been looking at the sale tyres and because i've hadnt had 700c fat tyres before i'm abit lost for what to take. i've measured the rear and it would take up to 37mm i reckon but i wanna be on the safe side.. ('77 gazelle track with wheel on the end of the dropouts)
