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 honered 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 Cherubim ULI uses the same tried and true top tube, seat tube and down tube as the Cherubim Piuma. These tubes are designed by Cherubim and manufactured by the legendary tubing factory Kaisei. The selection of different tubing diameters gives Cherubim's their signature look as well as unmatched comfort and response. The main difference between the ULI and the rest of Cherubim's bikes is the headtube. The headtube is machined from a single billet of steel to fit a integrated headset. The diameter of this headtube is also larger than what you see on most steel frames better suiting the carbon fork. Another feature of this frame is the shaped seat stays. The S Bent stays give the rear end a stiffer ride. Paired up with the sloping geometry the ULI is the ultimate race machine with a touch of class.
