But if you're gonna have two hoods, you gotta have road drops too...

so aside from loving the ride and lightness of my 722, i noticed something thats irritating me
my drivetrain seems to be a lot noisier than it was on my scrambler, but all the components are the same
i suspsect its because of the tubing used, it seems like the sound is traveling through a lot better
does anyone else think their 722 is noisy?

Green 722TS. This was a black friday pick up from last year. Finally getting around to building it up. Got the headset installed and steerer tube cut. All parts ready to go, I'm just gonna wait to chronicle the assembly process in case any noobs want a reference.
Components:
Wabi wheelset with Panaracer Pasela TG's
Silver S75, Black velo solo chainring
Protype ISO BB
Nitto UI-21EX stem
Soma Hwy One drops in silver
Thomson seatpost in silver
Turbo (maybe replace it with a Concor, or even another Romin)
MKS GR9's in silver (gonna use these with some cut Exustar doubles that I got from Scrod).
Throwing on a Shimano 105 brake when I can find a good silver lever.

I'm taking my ball and I am going home!
I have a lot to learn, but all in all I am happy with my first build. I will definitely address the points you guys brought up, thanks for the input.
Cheers,
Justin

Bar should be angled lower, and hood should be higher. Compact drops would have been a better option if you wanted to have a flat top with the hoods.

Your chain must be tighter or something. Switching from one cro-mo frame to another wouldn't make your drivetrain louder.

Now I don't know about the leader but if I knock against the side of my FTP it makes a very resonant clunk sound. If I rap against the side of my Miyata I hear nothing. On the FTP I hear the links of the chain catch on the teeth of the cog when I'm back pedaling or track standing. On the miyata I can't hear a thing.

well its not exactly that my drivetrain is louder, its just that i hear whats going on a lot better
like what prooftheory is saying you get more of an audible sound from each link, but its not a "bad" sound like something is wrong, its just different
doesnt really matter now, it was just a question of curiosity, sounds normal to me at this point

Bloody hell I'm loving this bike so far.
Still testing some bar positions before the chop.
Oi, and these bloody stickers on the Deep V are a ***** to get off.
Need to find me a bittie with a hair dryer.
