I found a few more glances of Cherubim frames. Its not often I can find images of his frames other than shots taken at Nahbs. The frames on the top photos are out of this world, such pieces of art. The frame in the bottom photo looks like a proper modern steel speed machine. Tig welded with fat stays & made from Cherubim designed tubing at Kasei. This frame comes in at only 1.3kg. Shit hot. Found here.  ...

We will soon be receiving our first delivery of Singular Cycles frames. Singular is best known in the MTB world for their simple steel quality beauties but we're very excited to see what we can do with them in the city. For starters the Peregrine, their 700c frame on the bottom image, might be the most versatile frame I'v seen since the Surly Cross Check. But unlike the cross check it builds up perfectly into a tourer & the finish like all the Singular frames is as high end as they come. How

I opted for a smaller group this time, as you can tell. Almost half of the people who had initially said "Yes" to the ride bailed out yesterday (for completely legitimate reasons), leaving eight intrepid souls to take the ride. I'm bad with names, so I can't remember Drew's guests names, but there was also Badger, Darius, Eric, Ben and myself ... Eric was rocking his brand new Surly LHT, which he's just picked up. I'm jealous. More and more of my serious commuting friends have some kind of nice
