I have been meaning to share some photos of my cyclone cherubim track bike for some time with the group. After seeing some of the photos from NAHBS I thought I should probably get on it.

Some interesting drilling, as well as the tops of the track ends shaved off. The oddest thing about it though, is Yoshi Konno's signature is painted on the top tube over the clear coat. I couldnt tell you if he actually did it, but it is there and its not a decal, definitely done with a brush. (Actually 2 brushes, as there are 2 colors for a shadow effect).

I didnt realize that Cherubim is still producing bicycles today. Which makes me even more confused about the connection between Cherubim of old and Cherubim of new, and 3rensho. Anyone want to shed some light?
