What does sixty bucks and a trip down to Santa Cruz get you? A weird chop-job vintage roadie, that's what. "A good handful of shrooms" would also have been a solid answer. //// The brakebridge was raised, reoriented, and installed backwards by an unknown previous owner to clear larger tires

I believe Soma makes a 1" fork for their San Marcos frame that will work for your build.

Aside from the concerning fork dropout mods, looks like a neat bike- I'd like to do something to mine to fit 35's as well. Should be a fun platform to learn with, keep on exploring the ins and outs of drivetrains and put lots of miles on it!

thanks for the well wishes! picking up wrenching shortly after learning to ride a bike has been a frustrating but endlessly fun experience.
if it provides any comfort, i've since filled the gap in the fork dropouts with bondo so in the case of catastrophic failure i have a chance to stop and not just get sent over the bars. if you spot a 1" threaded fork that'll clear 32c let a guy know!
