Thuekr-
That's an interesting point regarding the geometry that I was going to clear up when I'm in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. I wanted the starting point to be "standard" keirin geometry, but I remember Keigo (the Cherubim guy) mentioning off the cuff that the geometry for the pista was quite similar to many of their other road bikes.
Which might have been an English mis-communication or not, but it didn't quite make sense at the time. Although to be fair, very little of this entire thing makes complete sense, I think much of what was going on in my head during that initial discussion was just "CHERUBIM CHERUBIM CHERUBIM CHERUBIM".
And this is a really stupid question, but where in that order sheet does it say HT angle of 73 degrees?

I haven't nailed down specific angles yet (still lots of time, and I'll discuss further the next time I'm on Tokyo), but the starting point was their 'standard' pista/NJS geometry with compensation for my body shape. As it turns out, I have normal-sized arms and legs but a slightly shorter torso/trunk.
Can't read much of the order sheet, but it is rather pretty:
