After the fun of my Surly Crosscheck thread I though it was time for another.
Over winter I've been without a 'proper' road bike. The long term plan was to find something nice in steel, and a few on here mentioned I could look at custom. Last week I sent an enquiring email to Rychtarski and things have moved fast, they've suggested they could start building for me next week!
The plan is currently to have the geometry based on my previous road bike, which I have been Scherrit-fitted on, with some slight tweaks. I sent the attached bikeCAD to Rychtarski.
Details-wise, I really like this one which has been a big influence:
I will be initally building it with a Sram Rival group that I have, and probably a placeholder shimano factory wheelset (I want nice posh wheels but am considering moving abroad for work within the next year, so will make my mind up on that in a few months and then probably splash out on wheels anyway, then regret it when it comes to shipping my possessions...)
