Rides like a dream, still need to get it weighed. My first BRAND-NEW bike in a decade or so and definitely my favorite, at least for now :love:

you must have lurked here for a while because your build is very "BFSSFG" haha

Looks sharp... I dig the gray tires :)

I'll admit I took some inspiration from you fine folk. I can't help it y'all have such hot bikes and great taste :lol:

Thank you! However the tires are black, Specialized All-Conditions 700x23c. Only the dust and sand of my fair coastal city and maybe the contrast of the frame and rest of the parts make them appear gray. :D

In other words, I ride the s**t out of it.

I should get my 722ts build up here once my new handlebars arrive.

Awesome build, truly (above 722). Practical, clean lines. Well done.

you don't say! what a novel idea!

722 for $80 shipped here http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=3&theater

How unique is the paint job on it?

Jokes aside, $80 is a steal. I'd get it if it were two sizes smaller.

It's funny that he lists it as "56/57cm", considering the closest sizes to that are 55 and 58. I wonder what size it really is?

80 bucks shipped is a great deal though.

Definitely appears to be a 58, looking at the length of the headtube.

True. My 58 measures 56cm center to center so that's most likely what it is.

why do people measure c-c :o

Because it makes more sense and is a much more realistic measurement.

It is an invariant measurement that can have only one interpretation. When you measure c-t (center to top), sometimes it means top of the top tube, and sometimes it means top of the seat tube. Sometimes the seat tube extends well beyond the top tube, such that the frame size in c-t is much larger than the c-c sizing. Ironically, most bikes are sized c-t, and the few that aren't like the kilo tt are often sized incorrectly for the rider.

okay so I have been riding my bike over the weekend but here are some pics of my 722ts:

Why is your saddle so low?

Also, not using the right diameter seatpost may damage your frame.

yeah well despite that fact that I have many seatpost's they are either too big or to small for my frame, so basically I tried to shim it with some duct tape but it kinda sinks down I think I may try coke cans, but I plan to just buy a saddle soon.

Whoops I meant to say seat post not saddle

god lol

I don't even know what to say.

Is it a 27.2? I might have one for you, plus you're in my town.

It'll be a humanitarian relief effort.
