Modern day classic i rekon, fantastic fillet braized joints, amazing to look at.Possibly the best tubing around today, and at the end of the day it says Pace on it. I'm sure there is going to be people on this forum that says it's NOT a Pace.... But it IS a Pace, and £372 for the frame is a true bargain i rekon. :lol:
Loving the 1 x 10 gearing. I'm pretty sure that will be the future too for bikes if not 1 x 11 lets say 36 / 9. with a 34 upfront. Nobody really needs any more gears.

I thought these were tigged then faux filleted?

Either way, I'd like one as a modern HT!

Just been back on the net and Wiggle website fails to mention the TIG + Fillet braized and just mentions fillet braizing,

http://answers.wiggle.co.uk/answers/786 ... stions.htm

Yes you are right It's a combination of both, Still looks superb though. :lol:
