It's a very clean bike. I really like it. Though I dream of a world where the front tire is black

finishing up my 722ts build, just need to tape that bars and trim the cables. anyone know what the size of the top tube is and if anyone makes brake cable guides that'd fit it? or am i stuck with zipties? (removing back brake is not an option)

Assuming you mean top tube - because of the shape/circumference of the tube, you may be stuck with zip ties.

yep im dumb i meant top tube. ive found them in 31.8 diameter, thinking i may try to pick up a set and see if i can bend them to shape. If not, i'll be attempting to manufacture some shortly.

hopefully i'll be able to put up some photos of my build tomorrow, need to pick up the bar tape and i'm done.

finished off my build this morning, had enough leather left over from the velo orange elk hide bar wraps(new color cortado, they match the honey brooks much better in real life than the photos, we'll see how they weather.) to replace the zipties holding the brake cable and leather the toe clips.

still on the fence about the headtube badge, but it's actually growing on me.
