@anidel The most dangerous thing about the Cherubim store is its location. It's in Aoyama, maybe 20 minutes walk from either Shibuya, Yoyogi Park or Harajuku. So basically it's just around the corner from many, many things a visitor to Tokyo would do. So if you're a bike nerd, the dialogue in your head goes something like "how often are you here? it'd be more of a crime NOT to visit the shop". Just saying, you should go ;)
@Eingang 18 months ago, in pre-Brexit pounds, I paid about £1200-£1300 for the Pista (now the Triple Crown) model with custom geometry, Kaisei 8630 tubing upgrade and chromed lugs. Which is by not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but around the same price (if not cheaper) than what some who have been building for less than 5 years in the UK might charge and they're also not called Shinichi Konno. And yes I probably will end up switching to clipless.
