Japanese Steel: update on p4
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Finally! Have been waiting for what felt like an eternity to have this frame made.
I was looking for something special and have been drawn to Cherubim's NAHBS pics repeatedly over the years. The bike is beautifully finished and has a certain Japanese quirkyness that is quite unique. Weight is a little over what I expected as the paintjob is super heavy. Sub 7kg is still relatively respectable for a brazed and lugged steel bike.
What I love most is the f&$k you to ugly ass aero frames, disc brakes, compact cranks and oversized cassettes

Took it out for a spin this morning- 75k’s with 1,500m of elevation with 60km/h crosswinds. Cherubim nailed the brief delivering comfort, stability while still being surprisingly agile. Loved pushing big gears in shitty conditions, it was wonderful.

Cherubim will always have a special place in my heart of steel
Looks so good. Got the geometry chart for that bike?... the angles look to be quite slack. Just curious.
