This Mariposa was built to climb through the Pyrenees or cruise over smooth gravel roads. The round steel tubing has a simple elegance to it and current framebuilding materials allow us to internally route the hydraulic brake lines cleaning up the front end of the bike.
Built up with the SRAM Red wireless components all cables and wires are eliminated. The ENVE bars, seat post and wheels are aesthetically pleasing, light and functional. The stem is a lightweight PRO, which is aluminum and hollow allowing the hydraulic hoses to easily route from the handlebars into the fork making installation and disassembly less fiddly than most internal routing systems.
The frame and fork, which is a Columbus Trefoil fork, allow for 33 mm tires making the bike versatile and quick while also being comfortable on gravel roads. The lugged frame was built with a mix of Columbus and Kaisei tubing and has Paragon Machine Works dropouts.
