Unveiling another dull RC200 F6. FINISHED WITH PICS.

No apologies for the "didn't want to faff around with obsolete disc tabs" and "lockout yes please" build. It's a rider.

Really it could be an "original build but forks and brakes upgraded in 2001" concept. But more by accident than design, rather like the colour scheme which fell together by itself....


Frame:16" 1997 Pace RC200 F6 Ti-coloured, Decals courtesy Gil(Thanks LaundryMike and Wu-Tangled for looking after it before I got my hands on it...)
Fork: Pace RC38 Airforce 2 (2001) - wanted a lockout fork (Ebay)

Headset: "matt silver" Hope (original type but 2002 I think) (Thanks FredGassit)
Stem: "XTR grey"Pace (Retrobiker I forgot the name of)
Handlebar: X-Lite XLR Straight Ti (Taken off the Dave Yates last year when I put Renthals back on ) Logos faded off but a good,light durable bar.
Grips: Whatever I had lying around. Pro I think.
Barends: Black X-Lite Stubbie Pro (Retrobiker I forgot the name of)

Brakes: Hope DH4 Front, Enduro 4 rear (2001-ish), 183mm front,165mm rear (Thankyou Retrobike for Rear "3" half which made these brakes usable at last - had them in sparesboxfor 4 years)


Shifters: Paul Thumbies(NOT PERIOD)/Dura-Ace Barcons (Spares box) Considering M952 Rapidfires as I'm not convinced these work well enough or look the part.

Derailleur Cables: Shimano (New)
Cassette: M952 12-34(Spares Box)

No pics for now as it won't be finished for a couple of weeks- waiting for a few small parts.

Aw! Come on!

All good things come to those who wait....

In dialog about the right decals.
Wheels due to arrive in the next couple of weeks....
Front mech on its way.
In negociations about Royce BB....

Everything else is done and like a fool I never photographed it in bits as it arrived day before my 40th (always said I'd have one before I was 40) and was a bit busy and got carried away putting stuff onto it....

Stupid to spoil it with an early preview.....

So far the votes are saying this is the right thread for it.... Any protesters better get votes in pronto as poll expires in a couple of days!

Poll seems to have expired and a huge majority says it goes in here.

Watch this space....

Now just waiting for decals. Watch this space next week.....

Still not ready to fully unveil, but here are some closeups......
