For Sale Orange Prestige 17" 1992 Pace RC35s

[Bizbauer]

I'm sadly selling my '92 Orange Prestige to clear some space in the garage.

The frame was an eBay buy, then stripped and powder coated satin black, with decals from Gil. It's an earlier model than the graphics suggest; I wanted to replicate my original '94 Prestige that I snapped down-hilling many years ago

The Pace RC35 MXCD I've had since new and had full service by Pace in 2019. They've probably done 12 miles since then....

Crank XTR M900 - No decals with Race Face chainrings - 46, 36, 24
B/B XTR UN91

Crikey that’s nice. Wrong end of the country for me, and probably a good thing! Good luck with the sale

Beautiful bike

I would ask though, looks like a 19"? Happy to be wrong, as if I'm right, I might be tempted....

It’s a 17” I’m afraid - I used to have a 19 and was definitely bigger!

Bump…

That's lovely... pretty sure it's 19" (17.5" centre to centre). The headtube on a 17" are very short in comparison to yours. Glws

This is odd; you’re not the first to have said this but I’m convinced it’s not. I had a 19” (pictured) and it was slightly too big for me at the time.
If you compare the length of seatpost showing on both, there’s much more exposed on the newer bike; also the seat stay / top tube intersects closer to the height of the rear tyre on the bike too.
Are there definitive frame measurements for these bikes? I’m happy to be proved wrong and will alter the ad to suit but I’m pretty convinced it’s the smaller size….
