sigh everyone always asks about the red tire on here :notamused:

i like it lol

I kinda dig it, actually (even if you are biting my CronoNero steez).

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

lol guess this guy is using crononeros too. anyways originally the red vittoria was a spare tire i had in the house, and was gunna buy a new black tire, but ive grown the like it and decided to keep it

it's time I taped those bars and tried them out

And a Turbo! I'm never posting a pic of my bikes ever again! :lol:

it's okay scrod, yours is at a better angle

Does anyone ride their 725 on the track? How does it hold up?

ahhaha scrod your 17t cog is on the bike, im the one that you mailed the 16t to by mistake

Saw this puppy popping up on the blogs today.

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.

Scrod what wheels are on your bike? they look great

Thanks...which one? Click the Pedalroom links in my sig.

I meant the 722, but thanks I didnt see that

No prob. I appreciate the compliment!

Can anyone tell me the differences with this years 735 and 725? They're making a 725 with the same seat collar so now i cant really tell the difference.

my baby is all done, but it's raining here now for the first time in who knows how long. I refuse to take a picture of it inside my orange lighted apartment

Doesn't the 735 have larger head and down tube?

yes much larger.

Head tube is the same but the top and down tubes are fatter.

Oops, duh. I mean't top tube not head tube lol. Also I notice you lowered your 722ts frames by $4 bucks :P

For anybody looking for that luscious Purple Chrome 725, there's one that jumped on eBay:

LEADER L.D 725TR FIXED GEAR 56cm ROAD BIKE

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.
