Pelago commuter

E: slowpoke

Probably this. I've seen so many rychtarski projects in this site alone lately, and still he has very slow lead time...For example mine was done like a week after the deposit.

Yeah, he seems to have been top notch until recently. And atleast my issue he solved very fast and seemed very sorry, so all hope is not lost, i think.

One can only hope that with amount of complaints he's getting, he'll start to do better...

Ok panic over, he's making me a new fork

e: unfortunately he doesn't have crowns to do straight bladed cx fork like i originally wanted, so new one is gonna be with bended legs. I'm starting to think this is gonna look almost exatly like psee's one...

Not sure if there's some standards to it, but my other bikes have canti studs about ~78mm apart from each other, in this bike they are 70mm in the back and only 63mm at front...

Yeah, i'd get money back and get one from orlo instead. Lately rychtarski's work hasn't been very impressive...

Yeah...shame. Before ordering i'd heard only good things about him, but now he seems to have some issues with latest orders.

I don't want to change brakes, and i don't think it would make any difference since it's about brake pad not fitting between the rim and the fork leg

Thought so. Well, waiting for his answer, hopefully he'll make me a new fork. Good thing i'm not in a hurry this being my summer steed and all...

Rear is fine, just have to sort out brake squealing but frame is ok.

well fuck.

even slimlines won't fit. Tried with narrower rim, barely fits. Fork too narrow? :D Emailed rychtarski, waiting for answer. Bummer.

e: as a plus side, got my arundel ss cages and smaller chainring for pomp.

email him obvs

It's been a while since i've had flat pedals in any bike...feels so weird

Postal office has lost my package, so no bottle cages for me as of yet. Ordered those slimline pads made of salmon ":D", and some cheep turbo trainer so i can get some miles in winter and gain förstemann-legs during the dark months.

Trackbike utopia, also known as Finland.

I guess it's time to fill order to Germany again.I wonder if bike24 is soon starting to think me as their regular...

I tried, but even then i can get them straight enough. Those original pads are 6mm thicker than slimlines, worth a try i guess.

Some progress on both projects:

Mostly done, brakes were all sorts of wonky with this wide rims, gotta look into that. Maybe kool stop slimline pads would do the trick. Arundel stainless cages waiting at the post office. After that i can start dialing everything in.

Pompino got more crabon, bigger tyres for winter and brakes + halo clickster cog. Have to get 39t for winter, 42/17 feels soooooo big. Steerer choppage and bar plugging happening in near future too.

Jagwire ti or carbon silver ftw. Can't really go wrong with those, quality or looks wise

If i were building that sort of bike, i'd go for hub dynamo at front.

Woo new fork for the pomp! Also don't like these miche cranks with their ass BCD and chainline is wayyyyy off (can't put narrower bb because it would hit the chainstay), and stumbled upon sram force cranks so will put those on too. Also freewheel, brakes and 42c smart sams for winter.

...Being a lorry driver can sometimes mean shitton of hours, which translates to some loose cash, so i think i have most of the parts needed for rych on order now. Hopefully everything arrives next week. Stay tuned

Tarck bike with big tyre up front just for lulz doesn't make it functional

well i did just saw the older wcs model for very cheeep in 'bay, thats why i was wondering...Other option is to get 390mm long fork from orlo or rychtarski.

e: also, whisky fork looks to be tapered.

Humm, i was looking for crabons fork for the pomp, and that ritchey above looks the business. How does the 1cm longer a-c affect the handling?
