Hey all, long-time lurker, first-time poster! Here's my 722TS built up over a period of some months:
Leader 722TS frame, 53cm
Leader S805 carbon/steel fork
Formula hubs to Mavic Open Pro rims
Andel Crankset 46t with Andel Cobra bottom bracket
Turbo Reissue Saddle
Nashbar Ascent carbon seatpost
chopped Soma Urban Pursuit bars, 38cm on a 90mm stem
Tektro cross lever and front caliper
MKS GR-9s with CKC double cages and laminated double leather straps
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

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.

Your cog is slipping.
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.

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.

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.

Is it a 27.2? I might have one for you, plus you're in my town.
It'll be a humanitarian relief effort.
