1989 Pace RC 100

1989 RC 100
I have owned her for 14 years and take her out on dry days on the North Yorkshire moors a couple of miles away from where she was built. Now run as a second bike, looking for the final components to bring her back to full retro conditon.

Another shot

These really are awesome bikes, the more I see the more I like..

What groupset you going?

Glad you could make it Sam...have you seen the RC100 going on the auctions section....can't seem to see a seat tube sticker, so the decals from Retrobikeguy should do the trick!

Opps, just re read the posting, you were after the downtube sticker..urm, retrobikeguy...any ideas?

Cheers buddy

Rich

very nice indeed,

yeah, there is definately something about that 1st RC100. It still looks as different and radical as it did back in that little "new releases' section of MBUK that I remember blew me away when I first saw it in '89.

Special.

Love it.
