Marking 10 years since its debut at Interbike, our custom Cherubim still stands as a blend of artistic vision and cycling performance. With its handcrafted steel frame and unique design, it remains a timeless masterpiece.

With 2023 marking our 50th anniversary as a shop, it feels like the perfect time to look back at some of the special builds we’ve created over the years. One that stands out is this one-of-a-kind Cherubim, hand-built by Shin-ichi Konno, which we crafted for Interbike 2013.

A true masterpiece, this custom Cherubim was adorned with a full Campagnolo 80th Anniversary groupset, celebrating the brand’s legacy of precision and performance. Complementing the build, ENVE components provided a modern touch, seamlessly blending innovation with the bike’s handcrafted steel frame.

Every detail of this frame was carefully shaped by Konno’s expert hands, with smooth welds, impeccable craftsmanship, and a design that remains as striking today as it was a decade ago. More than just a show bike, this build embodied the artistry and tradition that make custom bicycles so timeless.

Looking back, this Cherubim remains one of our most memorable projects—a testament to collaboration, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for cycling history.
