Crosslake is also Random Bike Parts,right? I dig that operation, didnt think they still had these. I bought one of these NOS Marin hybrid frames from them a couple years ago for about $115 (a San Rafael 4 IIRC). I love that (franken)bike!
I snagged a nice set of handbuilt 29er wheels from BWW, some RhynoLites with black DTs laced to 36h XT hubs (pre plan-demic, so well under $200 delivered!) and built the rest from another Craigslist bike that had a tweaked frame, and other spare parts from my stash, ebay and RBP. I'm running some 40mm tires with no problems.
