He changes it every month or so; right now it is one of those inverted-fork racer things, but he had a gorgeous Cinelli raod bike up there a few months ago.
Roncesvalles is my hood, man (boustead ave). i often hang out at Alternative Grounds, and their coffee is decent but i can't remember if their espresso roast is any good. maybe i'll stop in there today and give it a try. i'll have to check out cherry bomb, for the bikes if nothing else. we need a jet fuel-type coffee shop in the west end...
what part of roncey do you live in? shout if you want to ride sometime....
