  Thanks, I had really bad experience with two Rychtarski fillet brazed frames close enough to what you mentioned, all the tubes were out of centre, basically waste of tubes. I am looking to get a disc-brake steel road frame with carbon fork. How do I contact Orlowski for a quote?

  How are Orlowski frames compered to Rychtarski in terms of build quality and consistency?

  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.

  Not yet. Probably next week their shipping carrier will pick it up from me.
  Thanks for asking.
