Warning Modern Pace Content,,

Heres another one to join the stables, sorry that its not an original RC, or even that its not built in this country :roll:

I was expecting the ride to be 'harsh' like the old RC100 and RC300 previously owned , but my god I cant believe its so comfy, At one point I thought it had some sort of 'hidden' damper built in

Big plans are afoot for this one, already this week , I have replaced all the bolts etc with either Ti or Alloy, pending on which was lighter and was more suited for the application.. (safety first lads )

Carbon this and carbon that are due for installation next week.. which should drop a good bit of weigh off and improve the already brilliant ride..

I know its the person on the bike , but my god it climbs sooo well , and the descending is .... well ok its no full sus, but I was loving it

This might well be neo

Thats a beut with those Spinergys. Its a shame the pound is worthless now, they where good value from the states 6 months back but too much now. Like the colour combo...

The current incarnation of the Pace is a wonderful,versatile thing. I love mine to bits.

I know the modern Pace frames get a bit of a slating by the old school Pace fans but I like!Was very tempted by one of these in the summer but managed to resist,nice build.

Burn him at the stake......

Zokes on a Pace, what were you thinking.

Snap !

Pace

The 305 are said to be even better Si, Singletrack gave them a rave review, I would love one, but I can't really justify one as well as the Merlin, Lightening and Zaskar that are all riders. What you pay for the frame? I saw Evans were heavily discounting 303's to £300 recently!

Well I have had Pace forks over the years, and must admit they were spot on, loved them.. but going for something a bit different on this build

For instance , always used Hope Disc brakes, but gone for Avids on this one, up at glentress yesterday , and WOW !! :shock: They were brilliant and I would have to say think feel better than the Hopes :shock:

Also on this one, things like Race face are present, I have never owned any Race face kit before so, again though I would like to try it

After yesterdays ride up at glentress , I was blown away again with the bike
I was expecting for it to be out of its depth, but it just felt soo planted and took everything in its stride..

Phillip, Yes the Yeti's Gone fella :shock: It was just not suiting me at all, too full on, really comfy, which is the reason I bought it , but Just isolated me from the trail too much.. I think thats it now.. for full bouncers, I think I have been riding hardtails for too long now to 'adjust' to the bouncy generation

Although the Pace Full Bouncer looks like its eating away at me in my sleep

Dougie ...

Your Pace looks Ace fella, liking the build lots.. any idea of the weight ?

I'll keep updating this post, as and when I upgrade components but heres a few pics of the New Avid's





Let me know what ya think..

WHAT, the Pace RC303 was built specifically for trail centres.

I found the 405 a bit too XC'ish for my liking, get yourself to one of the Pace Demo days and try it out.
