Michael Barry's first Mariposa Bicycle, built by his father in 1980 and painted by Taliah Lempart in New York City, 2005. This bicycle has been ridden by dozens of kids and is currently being ridden by a 9 year old friend in Toronto. Mike Barry scaled many of the parts down to size, including the Stronglight cranks. Originally the bicycle had tubular tires. #bicyclepainting #legacybikes #vintagebike #heirlooms #biketoronto #mariposabicycles #mariposabikes #taliahlempert #steelbike #mikebarry #michaelbarry #stronglight (at Toronto, Ontario)

The Mariposa Bicycles head badge was designed by Thom Antonio and captures the brand's Canadian roots with the Maple leaf prominently placed. The name and logo embody the European - Canadian heritage of its founder, Mike Barry. A native of the Wimbledon, England, Mike explored much of the European continent by bike as a young man and immigrated to Toronto, Canada in the 1960s. He's one of many immigrants who helped build the cycling community in the city. He founded the Mariposa brand in 1969. #headbadge #brandstory #brands #mariposabicycles #mariposabikes #custombike #mariposa #butterflies #chrisking #whisky #mikebarry Photo by @onlywalt
