That Carlton is awesome. I may end up with some sweepy bars on my Redline frame If I can decide what the hell to do about the rear hub situation that is currently driving me nuts.

The present Cherubim is run by Yono's son.
He kept the name going, his uncle is working there also.

Thanks - it's still very much a work in progress, but aren't they all?
Got some other pics, but no good ones. He needs to go outside and play, but it's damn cold and icy out. Definitely beater bike weather. We can't all be 128.

My cheap ass GT avalanche 2.0 fixie conversion
Took me many a respace and redish to get this right, still not perfect
My disc hub fixie wheel.
I know this isn't nearly as hot as the Keirin frames and other nice fixies, but I love it.

It weighs 16.5lbs. I could have made it a lot lighter, but that wasn't my goal. I don't race any more. The idea was to build a bike that would be supple over the bumps and cracks of Toronto roads, and yet stiff enough that I wouldn't lose too much precious energy.

After a while, the name changed to Cyclone as a whole -- which was copyrighted by Suntour, so they soon had to change again.... to 3Rensho.

Moki, keep those wheels as they are! They are badass. Save them for the track, if you have a track nearby, and build something else up for the streets.

Cinelli fastback stays and chromed fork crown, Nikko cast bottom bracket, Tange long-point lugs. An impressively cool bit of 3Rensho history. Hope everyone enjoys.

Yeah I was just going to ask how they handle on the street. Anyone else ride 24 hole hubs on the street? What if we're talking 24h Phils with bladed spokes?
