Just got my Rychtarski built again after being hanging in the basement for 18 months. Its a odd mix of components but I'm really happy with the final result and the way it performs.

Frame: Rychtarski custom steel, a mix of HSS, Life and ZONA tubing. Paragon stainless dropouts
Fork: Columbus Futura Carbon
Cranks: SRAM Force
Chainring: Garbaruk direct mount 50t
Shifters: Ultegra R8050 Di2
Brakes: Force 22
Derailleur: GRX Di2
Chain: Shimano DA/HG901
Cassette: Ultegra
Handlebars: Deda Zero100
Stem: Kalloy Uno 120mm 6d, rattled canned to match the frame :)
Seatpost: Hylix 27.2mm
Saddle: Selle SLR Titanium
Pedals: Time RXS Carbon
Wheelset: Superstar components arc 22
Tires/Tubes: GP5k 25mm, Tubolito
Bottle Cage: Alpitude

Total weight; 7.7kg

Got some 3T superleggera bars and July 21 (used to be planet x) brakes to be added.

Next up is probably some new wheels since I'm tempted to see how close I can get to the 7 kg mark :)

I am guessing minus the cassette the wheelset + tires weighs around 2300-2400g? I guess you could go with some Hunt 45mm Tubulars with some tubulars for a 250-300g weight saving. What wheelsets are you looking at?

I believe the arc wheelset is in the 1500gr range.
I'm looking in to some low profile carbon clinchers. The Light Bicycle R25 is looking like a solid option.

It rides really really nice. It was built to be stiff since I mostly ride short, punchy rides.

Love this bike, can't go wrong with fillet brazed steel :thumbup:

What's the frame weight?

Actually I can't remember the frame weight...Image

Minor updates (tyres, stem). Need to cut the fork. Next up is probably an Ultegra crankset.

Looks fab! :thumbup:

Are there no direct mount double rings availible to do a straight swap with the 1x chainring? Would be lighter and better looking than ultegra.

Thanks!

Actually the Ultegra swap is for pure aesthetics. Will probably gain some significant weight but I'm not really a fan of mixing shimano and sram.
Already ordered a 1x Ultegra chainring from Garbaruk
