I was going to recommend Mike Barry's shop in Toronto in another thread about restorations, and was poking about the interweb looking for contact information, when I came across the following in Michael (the son, and Team Sky pro) Barry's wikipedia entry:
"His father, Michael (Mike) Barry Sr., was a racer himself in England in the 1950s, who until 2006 ran a specialty bike store and manufactured a line of hand-made bicycle frames under his own Mariposa[1] brand."
So is the shop done, or just Mike Senior's association?
Too bad either way, since he came highly recommended for restorations, and quoted an attractive price when I enquired.
