Rychtarski All-Road V.3

Any recent pics? Big fan of this bike.

Currently -13c which means no riding bikes. But more thinking about them.

Been considering parting with this frame. I have really not made up my mind yet. But i'm looking for something a tad faster. N+1 is unfortunately not possible at the moment. Just checking if anyone would be interested before i put up an ad. Would be asking somewhere around £730 for F+F Chris King Headset and Thomson clamp. It's 57.5x56cm C-C.

EDIT:

eh?! after all that fettling and finessing over 6 months?

how much faster will a new frame go over this bad boy? It's had me on the brink of selling everything to get a similar custom job from Rychtarski too.

Hang your head in repentance, and go apologise to your bike-the Swedish winter is getting to you.

You could drop half a kilo just by switching forks

On second thought i can probably afford keeping it. Thank you grùbér.

Is there such a thing as lack-of-sun-stroke?

Are there any OTP forks other than Enve GRD with a A-C length of like 385mm?

This is why;

You haven't ridden it, so you forget how it ride.

Once you ride it again, you stop thinking about a new frames, everyone have that.

you stop thinking about a new frames

Lies! This never happens.

Is there such a thing as lack-of-sun-stroke?

Having had the misfortune of spending two winters in Sweden, yes-there definitely is. Invest in a sun-lamp and scheme on some epic tours instead of passing on such a beautiful and well put together bike-at least not until you've put some decent hours in on it!

Epic Tour Time!

Candidate 2 has a convincing website

It's had me on the brink of selling everything to get a similar custom job from Rychtarski too.

Much the same here. I have such a massive soft spot for this bike. Don't need to go that fast and don't want to. Something like this is perfect.

Anyone got experience with Hunt Wheels? Been looking at these:

Going tubeless and Sram 1X which means i need a new wheelset for XD cassette.

Any better alternatives around 1500g and £400?

Hope evo and pacenti sl25 should be fine or the stans grail rims.

Will be sticking to my current TRP Spyres and Kinesis wheelset. Been quite satisfied with their performance so no reason to swap them out just yet. With 11-36 cassette i can keep the wheels and convert them to tubeless. Pretty good value imo.

my almost exact basket for this build. Sugino track nuts also work. Go fatter for the tyres!

Are you going to off road on this? 42t should be ok no? I spend most of the time in the smaller half of the cassette with 42t .. kinda wish had 44t (or 11-32). The lowest gear is lower than my road bike 34-25.

Where are you buying all that from?

Looks like bike24

Yeah, be careful: they're not in stock there.

FWIW, I usually have 11-28 paired with 42t, which was fine for everything (and that's on a touring bike).

It's either S-One, G-One, Gravelking 32mm (Slicks) or Compass 32/35mm (If they're tubeless compatible).

Good gearing input. I'm used to 50/34 12-28. Prob not enough high gears with 38t.

Might as well buy when it's cheap (even though stuff on bike24 always seem to be on sale) . At least 2 months until the snow clears here.

The gearing is very fickle.

If you're the kind who like the gap on the 11-28 cassette, (which is essentially a 11-25 with a 28t), then you might find yourself going back and figuring out what cassette you like.

The 11-36 look like it got a fairly usable low ratios to work with the 42t chainring (11-12-13-15-17-19) before it get bigger the higher you go, so stick with the 42t if you're happy to spin comfortably, otherwise 44t.

If you're not fickle on the gear ratios, then any cassette will work for you.

The compass bon jon pass is tubeless compatible.

Do you have a non drive side photo? I just want to see the cable routing for the rear brake.
