Thinking of Paul Racers today
Dreaming of putting the meatiest tires I can possibly fit on my La Cruz and maybe making it a bit less of a road bike and more of a mountain bike. Also dreaming of building up the Phillipe the way I want it with some old school XTR and a super compact double…maybe 1x9. We’ll see. Dreaming of my bikes in general because they’re in Santa Cruz and I’m in Nashville!!
What I consider more of a “dream” is having a SS rigid 29er.
Dreaming of finding a 53 cm La Cruz frame and fork for a decent price!
dreaming of chris king disc hubs.
I guess some bike shit would be ok too.
wow, where is this magical place?
daydreamin’ about maybe getting this frame on monday.

Those look like the 44mm Mutano Raptors, nice tires! They’re discontinued but check ebay, I just bought a set a bit ago for $32.
Work out just fine on any of the trails I’d want to ride a cross bike on around here.
I’ve been trying to find them for some time now. Haven’t been able to. I’m sure there’s something comparable.
well now i have a reference on how big mutano raptors are. i’m gonna have to compare tire clearance with the la cruz that my friend has
I want a lug vise.
edit:
Wilton vise FTW, too.
wait, what is that?
That’s a jig that holds disc tabs in the correct position relative to the axle while you attach them to the frame.
oh wow, that’s cool.
Raleigh sscx frame
Tandem with s&s couplers positioned so that it can be set up as a regular one person bike too.
I’m undecided on whether my fictitious bike has a Rohloff hub/disk brake combo or 9 speed rd/Chris King tandem hubs/Arai drum brake/cantis.
