yeah I just checked their website. They seem to have locations on ossington and on nassau, but the webpage seems like its an online only business. Can I just show up at the store and buy beans?

Yes, both stores do storefront retail. The ossington location is quite a bit bigger with more seating but the roasting is done on Nassau (and Audrey Tatou is there). Update on the boneshaker. Buddy made a typo and wants $1500 for the bike. Given a new repro is around $900 USD.... boneshaker ftl.
That's okay, I want a tall bike like the second one in this video

The fender works well with water but I've never tried slush or snow. Thanks for the advice. I'll plan on a real one soon.
I figured it'd bring the "heat" on my bike down because its ridden daily around campus.
As for that ostro frame. I was considering one a LONG time ago but Keith advised against dealing with him so nope, I don't own one.
Ostro sent me those photos when we chatted and I uploaded it cause I thought they looked awesome.
+ I think another bike would be a bit too excessive.

trip was sweeeeet, the trails there are so nice.
we were staying in Sedona the whole time, so it was nice and warm.
Chris took a couple hundred pics, I think he's still uploading them to Flickr.
went to the Flagstaff observatory on Friday night, pretty sweet.
Yea, amazing mountain biking there, so many trails, we had about six full days of of biking and we could only fit in about half of the trails in the Sedona area, I want to go back again soon.
