The Rychtarski thread

Only made it to £150 this time. I think all the people willing to pay him a decent price for the frame are wise to him dicking about and relisting it now and it's just going to be diminishing returns from any future auction.

Does anyone have a rough price quote for a disc road frameset? Don't want to email him yet without secured funds

Around 800€ for Columbus Spirit + 100€ if you went TIG.

plus €100,- if you went fillet brazed, no?

Base price list i received last month, frame only:

Fillet brazed frames:
800€ - Columbus Zona;
865€ - Columbus MAX;
865€ - Columbus LIFE;
930€ - Columbus HSS;
950€ - Columbus Spirit;

add more dorrahs with any custom stuff (bigger headtube, dropouts, whatever)

Makes Orlowski look a bit cheaper then. Mine was 850 euros for fillet brazed, oversized zona with sliding dropouts, 44mm HT and 3 bottle mounts

Yes, you are correct. I ment fillet brazed.

I would like to inform u guys from UK that Rychtarski Tomasz is a son of Leszek Rychtarski. He started to make bike frames about some time ago?( 1?2?3 years max?) and for sure he is not as experienced as HIS Dad. So the older frames with style were made by Leszek- modern ones by Tomasz

Is Leszek still making frames? I have a ~3 year old Rych and wouldnt mind knowing if its a new or old style

Write to rychtarski company and ask if Leszek is still making or who is now the main one builder and who is secondary. I dunno

@JB you know who made mine?

Kuba.

Rychtarski lo pro Polska National youth team. Just discovered that this was born with 650c fork. Soon we'll be restored. If anyone knows something about this frame, I will appreciate it.

Who's got the dayglo pink Rychtarski cross with gumwalls that I saw this morning going through Angel > Amwell St cycle paths? Definitely had an #onhere vibe. What mini v brakes were those?

fucked mine, does he do repairs?

Shame. Been my favourite Rychtarski for eons. Though I've only ever seen it from the angle in the pic at the top...

yeah its been the best bike I've ever owned, I've seen one just like it a few cm bigger for sale a year ago so might have to track it down if i cant get a repair.

Surly repair should be fine, its alu right?
Ur...do you have nay more pictures of it?

or you can sell it to me if you cant be bothered with repair

IS the frame cracked? or just the bondo?

I've only managed to find one crack on the weld

under the rust in the 2nd pic

Guess thats what happens when you build bikes out of window frames...
