Do you like it? ive been having a blast on mine.
Yes I do. It is one of my favorite bikes. For what it's worth, I think Katakura Silk models look a lot larger than they actually are - mine has such a long head tube, for instance:

Measured c-c, the seat tube is approximately 61cm. Having changed stems out to achieve my preferred reach, this size fits me very well. But just eyeballing it side by side with similarly sized frames, one would guess it was another size or two larger. Just one of the quirks, and I love the bike. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too.
