Can anyone shed any light on this...?
I know the firm was Cherubim before, so i think this has something to do with all this...

Yamaguchi-san to have been built by his hand in the first year of 3RENSHO's existence (then known as "Cherubim Cycles" after his brother's also-famed Cherubim shop.)

My old Lo-Pro.

Here's a couple of piccys of my tt bike from 10-odd years ago. (sorry for the crap quality) When I chopped the forks for the 24" front wheel, cor, it got twitchy!
You can see how shortened the rear triangle was. I didn't fall for the PMP cranks bollocks about bent cranks overcoming the dead spot-they just looked weird & I thought they looked cool. The bb was so low, and the pedals extended beyond the front wheel so far, it would've been crap at fixed.
