And the Red Hook Fairway is a great setting for that photo! Nice job.

So where can I find a 722ts frame online?

[EDIT]: Nevermind. I'm an idiot. What do we like for forks? I'm thinking straight blade, but with a taper toward the dropouts.

If coghouse doesn't sell it in chrome anymore a lot of retailers sell that fork under different names and it comes in chrome.

Good eye. I live in Red Hook and love that place. Got a new seatpost that fits and waiting on a Fizik saddle will post new pic after it arrives.

Your bike looks like a toy miniature on a model landscape in that pic.

I'm not really digging the blue tape. Perhaps black or red/black to match the straps?

I think red would look better but even the blue doesn't look bad. Gives the bike a nice accent
