Team frames, with the exception of the Track model, do not have chrome forks.
The only thing a 712 has in common with a Team is chromoly tubing. Thats it.
To say its 99% the same is to say all Colombus tubed or Reynolds tubed frames are the same becasue the have a Colombus or Reynolds sticker.
STB tubes are
model and size specific. They have different spline configurations and wall thicknesses along with different lugs and dropouts.
