I like that. I don't like "murder" themes so some color for me is a must.

I don't mind the blackouts but I feel the same. A bit of pop adds some character.

Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Well done Im very close to picking up that frame in green or red.

The green will make for a nice build. It looks great in person and pairs nicely with the black or chrome fork. The only thing I dislike on the red is the white background where the decals are.

Finally finished my 722 build (my first, but definitely not my last build).

Some background info: Picked up the frame/fork during Black Friday last year (yeah, took a while huh).

It was a huge learning experience, and it still is. When I started, I knew I wanted to build something that looked classy, but would also be a performance beast and could get out and go when needed. That was pretty much the idea going into the build. As I started collecting parts, at some point I realized I was building towards the same bike I already have. At the same time, I didn't like riding with my wife through downtown where she works - too bumpy, slow and way too many stops.

So I decided to make this more of a short distance bike. I switched the drops for risers and went with 48x19 instead of the 48x17 I'm used to. Also went with 25c/28c instead of 23/25.

Put the final touches on today and took it for a spin. It's everything I hoped it would be, both in terms of appearance and performance. What say you BFSSFG?

Looks awesome, man. Very well-thought out and put together.

Thanks Scrod, obviously I got some ideas from your 722.

Well thought out though, haha, I don't know about that. Took some trial and error, but it should go smoother next time I hope.

i say mission accomplished, everything goes together nicely

what are the wheel details Mr Biggly?

Look at his PedalRoom.

ahh, got it.

I love the Velo Solo ring and the gum walls! Looks great, dude.

I wish I could get my hands on an old 722 now that I have the option :'(

Citygrounds still has some in some colors available... https://www.citygrounds.com/leader/le...22ts-frame-759

I was just looking at those and all I could find were the 61cm and then I realized citygrounds' website sucks.

Your Kagero is pretty damn mean too, I'm digging those components.

Finally getting some parts put on it. Paint was just redone, white with a pearl top coat. New Campy Centaur BB and '72 Sugino Mighty Competition Cranks freshly drilled and polished.

My Leader is killing me lately. No love.

Real pics to come later. Seat post was a bit high, obviously tape wasn't on yet

Damn that slammed stem!

I just looked at the link of your 725 when you first got it in your sig, and you have come a long way... nice job

Much better than how you first got it.

No more 7600's?

Just to make sure I don't sound like an ass, I think your bike rocks now.
