Beautiful!

You will look gorgeous on that bike!

Shows that it's worth the wait - delayed gratification. Here's hoping for an early spring so you can get in some good riding.

I think I'll faint.

A beauty.

Zen - Berry nice bike. She rides good, no?

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

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.

Thank you very much. I was a stickler for details and probably drove my LBS guy a bit buggy. I got the bottle cage from Velo Orange, they have the coolest stuff.

Yeah the stem is perfect.
Truly an elegant, graceful, and reliable Butterfly.

What a dapper bike!

"Just think that right now in Lima there are flowers and butterflies in the plaza!"

**divingbiker** · 01-03-2009, 01:26 PM

It's gorgeous, Zen.

**Biciclista** · 01-03-2009, 01:48 PM

**7rider** · 01-03-2009, 03:06 PM

Nicely done.
You sure you want to get that thing dirty on the towpath??

**Zen** · 01-03-2009, 03:58 PM

I'll only ride it to church on Sundays

Then I can be a Holy Roller
