nice looking f3.
Pace frames will beat you up if you don't ride them right. Basically ride them like a road bike (the easiest way of descirbing it) and they are sweet as a nut. You can't just pootle along you have to ride everywhere fast. If you remember they were built as race bikes this sort of makes sense.
When I first got my f8 I was horrified by the ride, but once I started riding it differently it was just great.
I spend a lot of time on a very stiff road bike (Terry Dolan built Cougar) so the ride is similar; and as a result my f8 is comfy as hell
