I’ve bought a few, that Pace on the first post being the one of them new purchases I always keep. I’ve built a few new frames up from scavenging old bikes. But yes bikes drop value like a Stone.
There was a Pace like yours on marketplace local to me about a month ago for £200 I missed it by twenty minutes. I always wanted one but couldn’t afford them as they were a fortune new.
When I was looking to refurb my pace forks on the orange clockwork I came across a chap under the member name justbackdated in the retrobike u.k. forum, his name is Tim Price. He used to work for pace and was their suspension chap but now does mostly fork rebuilds and refurbs. His company was called Fork English. I've just checked and he is still around on retro bike
Thanks I’ll take a look. I think the factory do a refurbishment service as well or at least they used to.
Was that the whole bike or just frame sounds like frame only? Be careful if/when you find one they do crack on the welds if abused or had a hard life.? there’s a Pink frame on Retrobike being built up. Mines I think the last iteration defined by the Carbon seat stay the earlier models had Alloy all had the same geometry AFAIK. Frame only back then from memory the lowest you’d get 1 was about £700, think that was Stif in Leeds. I purchased mine from A1 cycles in Wakefield no longer trading I believe. Everything on it was top drawer, he wanted close to £3700 for it.
Cheers for that Noobie my forks need a fettle as the remote lock out has broken. From memory Pace stopped in house servicing in the early 2000’s and their frame welder emigrated to Aus. Beyond the RC300 frame manufacturing went to Taiwan.
Here’s one of mine at the top of Alpe D’Huez last year after doing the Marmotte route. Its getting a bit of a hard time at the moment due to the quite roads and the fact the wife is working from home.
