Looks awesome.
I'm currently building a commuter that will fit 650b 42 so i might swap wheels between this, and that one, just to try it out. The rear wheel is not perfectly centered between the stays on the rychtarski, and the seatstays are not sloping/flaring outwards (see picture), so i worry that 42's would rub the stay. The Barlow Pass 38's i ran last year was tight fit.
psee-
3 of mine Rychtarski frames have the same problem that the rear wheel is not perfectly centered between the stays. I only noticed it when I went with bigger tires. Did you ever fix it ?
I took this frame to one of the best frame builders here in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, USA. And he told me that in his professional opinion that
their rear end bike jig is off center relative to the center line off the bottom bracket and the seat tube. Moreover, he also believes that whoever builds the frames in Rychtarski is not checking the frame alignment on alignment table during the build process.because it was to expensive to ship one of his frame from USA back to Poland I cut the Bottom bracket and the stays to show the Rychtarski crew what a wonderful job they are doing! after almost 3 months they send me a replacement frame but as was predicted the frame was not perfect.

I have fitted a 650b rear wheel with 42mm tyres on my carbon road bike (max clearance was 32mm with 700c).
It fit very well, just a couple millimeters of space on each side of the chainstay, if I can fit 42mm on my bike, you should be able to have 42mm on your.
