    Mariposa (better, FINAL photos)

    I think this is it. We got the brake levers almost directly below a normal grip position.












    Went for a spin in the cemetery to get used to the mini-clips(like 'em) and the barcon shifters (always good)
    I think the Brooks will work out.

    Nice, very nice!

    So nice it reminds me of this from a Spanish textbook dialogue. Two flight attendants have just disembarked in Chicago in cruel full blown winter, and one remarks (in a chirpy soprano):

    Pensar que en estos momentos en Lima hay flores y mariposas en la plaza!

    Google translates it as "To think that at this time in Lima butterflies and flowers on the square". Slightly fractured
    Apparently mariposa translates to butterfly
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    It's a beautiful bike. Love the way the handle bar is shaped. The line is so simple and so elegant. In someways, I prefer the old gooseneck. Its slender, and blends into the handle bar.

    And the water bottle cage, reminds me of art deco, again simple line, clean and just so pretty.

    Very nice and very pretty (sexy) bike.

    Thank you for posting a detailed pictures.
