I quite enjoyed my mothers camera when I had the chance to carry it around with me on a ride, but this time I only had my iPhone (3gs).

I rode Prez, my buddy tried out the 722 (definitely a step up from his schwinn mtb) and he can't wait to get a road bike. We were ~15 miles into our ride when I realized that my handbuilt rear road wheel (Novatec to Razor with DT Comp) acquired a nasty wobble. I need to get it trued up by a pro this time. no damage, but the 722 is out of commission till I can get around to repairing all the little things (brake housing, SRAM hoods, new bar tape (I think it might even be the same bar tape I've had since the Kilo! o_0) wheel trued, tune-up)

Tho with the transformation, it only came out to around 1-2 lbs heavier... Quite surprising when you think about it (Just the seatpost and saddle alone tallied an extra half a pound).



Note: better photos of the 722 rebuild to follow soon
