Bike Mielec

may I ask why

Very unlikely to get it that quick. Last I ordered from him it was a 4 month wait.
From Ryachtaski? Same time.
There’s not really anyone that does custom and has a ‘reliable’ time frame on production and delivery.

4 months sounds like a pretty damn good turnaround for full custom these days.
Guess it depends on their current backlog as well. I guess ordering just before Xmas means it’ll prob be a bit longer as they’ll have more enquiries to process after the holiday.

Good luck with the frame, it sounds insane and barely rideable but you seem set on it so more power to you!

Yeah Mielec quoted me 4 months. I wanted to order on December so I could get it during the March holidays. About my frame geometry, I’ll most probably change it. I finally saw a picture of someone riding 77/75 st/ht and holy shit. The person was really leaned forward on the handlebars. I think he uses it for crit racing but it was his only bike on his pedalroom. edit: nvm i think im staying

Pedalroom link?

This is so not true. But yeah. I agree with the rest of your comment.

No, you're quite right, that's a sweeping statement. Should have at least said ' especially at the moment'.

Thanks, looks cool. Angles are a bit more steep than Parallax has. On the other hand, the Parallax fork has less rake than the Alpina.

That is very nice!

Love this paint job, would like to have it!

You think this is aggressive?

Placed my order a few days ago now. Can't wait for the frame to get built up
Anyone have any experience with his paint jobs? The RAL colours seem kind of tough to choose from because I feel like they will look pretty different once on a frame. Also has anyone managed to get him to do any logos/custom decals? Asked the guy I spoke to if they'd do it and he avoided the question ...

how long did he say it will take you? i have recently placed an order aswell.

I asked if it would take 4 months (like I saw people saying on here) and he also ignored that question...
What did you end up going for?

seems they may be gone, email no longer works. Just bounces back

Sounds like you might have the wrong email, I was in contact with Robert via the email last night about my frame

Used the one from the website? What do you have??

So I ordered a frame in Jan, and it just arrived. All lovely, except for one minor problem. There's no routing for a front mech. Ordinarily it'd just need a drill to the BB and a clip on cable guide, except the space behind the BB is solid.

Any ideas on how to bodge this or is it going to have to go back?

Shame really, as it's a lovely frame. Weighs 1.8kg, so not even as much of a porker as I was expecting. Plan was for aggressive geo, horizontal TT, BSA BB, disc brakes and mudguard mounts as nowhere really makes a bike like that. It's just that I was also kind of banking on a x2 chainring set up...

Drill 2 holes.

There's cable routing for the front mech up until that point?

Looks like that could be kind of structurally important...?

Nope, but that's easily sorted.
