An oversized crown with a standard size head tube always looks terrible, IMO.

scrod is this the new black 725 mid? Does it just look that light due to the lighting in the picture? Appears almost grey

and I saw an older 725 the other day and wheel didn't seem to go all the way back to the seattube (a noticeable 1-2" gap). was this an early version I was seeing?

Either that or the wheel was slammed to the rear of the track ends.

It does look greyish in the pics but it's flat black. The older 725TR frames had a noticeable gap between the wheel and seat tube, even with the wheel "slammed" in the dropouts. The new ones - both the 2011 and Mid versions - are as they should be, as seen here:



I still have a little room to come forward more in my dropous but that's a 28c Thickslick.

If I had to guess I would say Deda Pistas, but on second thought they look more like these.

You can find the I806TR on Coghouse but I think they are out of stock. Leader has a new fork in the works that won't be drilled for a brake but it will resemble the I806TR.

One more question, what was the reasoning behind the change in the seat collar? Is it a major improvement in design or just aesthetics?

Could be. I don't think the top flat portion drops as much though.

Is your frame too small for you? I like the bar & crank combo but I'm not huge about the wheels.

After looking at the I805TR, is it just a carbon version of the S803? IMO the S805 doesn't as good on a 722.

The S805 is designed for use with a steel frame with a standard size head tube. The I05TR has an oversized crown to match the aluminum frames.
