Head Tube Badges Recently Acquired Bike & Frame
Early 80's Echelon. These frames were built in Japan by Cherubim, Hitoshi Konno's shop. He was Yoshi Konno's older brother (of 3Rensho fame). They were made for and imported by DIN Industries a California based bicycle parts importer.
I just picked up this new frame from SF Bay Area frame builder Ed Litton last Saturday. He built it on spec for someone several years ago and they ended up not taking it - their loss...
Ed and I had talked about him building me a custom frame for years. When I saw this one hanging on his wall a few months back, I liked the colors and thought about it for awhile. It's my exact size, so why build a new one. The frame is made of a blend of Columbus SL and Tange Prestige tubing.
