Thanks to the CR experts for the true word on my new bike. It's nice to hear that Yoshi Konno apprenticed building them! Worth a 500 mile round trip to me.

Lest anyone think my Cherubim bike rides soft; here's the real word straight from The Source:

Ezekiel describes them as such: "They had the figures of human beings. However, each had four faces, and each of them had four wings; the legs of each were [fused into] a single rigid leg, and the feet of each were like a single calf's hoof; and their sparkle was like the luster of burnished bronze. They had human hands below their wings. The four of them had their faces and their wings on their four sides. Each one's wings touched those of the other. They did not turn when they moved; each could only move in the direction of any of its faces. Each of them had a human face [at the front]; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right; each of the four had the face of an ox on the left; and each of the four had the face of an eagle [at the back]. Such were their faces. As for their wings, they were separated: above, each had two touching those of the others, while the other two covered its body." - Ezekiel 1:5-11
