Cherubim frames are made by the great Shin-ichi Konno. Shinichi is from a family of frame builders with his father building
Cherubims for over thirty and his uncle starting the famous 3 Rensho brand. Now Cherubim is continuing the family
tradition pushing the envelope for steel frames using custom built hardware such as specially bent tubes and incredibly
light custom tubing from Japanese manufacturer Kasei.
He has been honored with the Best Track Bike award and Presidents Choice at the North American Hand Built Cycle Show in 2009 & 2010. In 2011 we took a Cherubim Piuma to the handmade bicycle show Bespoked Bristol where it took the Best Road Bike award.
The soul of Cherubim is in track bikes. In previous years Cherubim have built for Olympic teams and champion keirin riders. Cherubim still offers custom NJS models as well as full custom track frames.
This frame was custom made from Tokyo Fixed.
This is a very cool track frame. At a glance it looks like any NJS style track frame but to the discerning eye its very special. Firsty it has Cherubim signature parts such as the painted seat stay ends and gold painted head tube badge. But what is really special about this frame is the long point lugs Shin Ichi chose to use and the slotted style seat tube cluster. You will rarely find lugs lugs like this, if you do find lugs like this its normally on old English track frames. The fork is stunnning also. With a slight bladed look and a long curve like the blade of a Katana.
Cherubim has used custom drawn Kaisei tubing with a equivalent feel to Columbus Spirit.
