Cherubim Pista

why not switching to clipless pedals if you never lock it up and thus need no sneakers for pub/club/party?

how much is cherubim asking for a frame like that?

Perfect set up- bike for life

Bravo! Wonderful frame. Flying over to Japan end od June...shall not walk into this shop EVER!

@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.

I was expecting something more expensive actually...mmm danger approaching...

Go there! It's a nice and friendly shop. And small.

£1200 is a bargain.

It is decided. My friend and I will definitely go visit. Hopefully will bring back a frame ourselves.

@anidel Excellent! I'd suggest you email them before hand to figure out when Keigo (who speaks the best English) will be in the Aoyama store. This will greatly expedite the exchange of yen/UKP for fine Japanese steel!

ahah sorry, it was a badly formed joke :)
I WISH I could get a frame for them...would need to seel a couple of my bikes though.
