It's that time again.
I've been probing the internets and following new releases of 2018 steel all-road frames but none seem to have a geometry fitting my weird body. Most have a longer reach and low stack and i usually need the opposite.
This will be my fourth custom frame by Rychtarski. My experience with them have overall been good aside from a few weird choices. But this time i'm specifying every single detail.
I've decided on Columbus Zona again. My two last frames were built using this tubeset and i've found it plenty strong and light enough for everyday use.
Filled brazed for the ∀ Ǝ S ┴ H Ǝ ┴ I Ɔ S.
Paragon through axle flat mount dropouts.
44mm/tapered headtube.
Internal/full length cable routing.
Two color fade paintjob ala Stinner.
3 bottle mounts.
700c/650b compatible. No monster tourer but at least clearance for 650b 48mm without guards.
Regarding components most likely i'll be moving over my current Rival/Force 1 groupset.
I would like a new dynamo wheelset for summer touring/rando duties.
Undecided re fork. Would like additional bottle mounts but the selection is very limited so i may just go with a regular cx type fork.
That's it for now. I'll update with some paint ideas and sketches.
Browse through the previous frame process in the meantime:
