I’m racking my brain trying to think of some early nineties grips that would be suitable for my bike. I’ve currently got a pair of modern grips I bought from my local bike shop but I’m now starting to nit pick at the finer details with my bike and I just want to try and get the little details...

Hi, I’m looking for a pair of the earlier type Pace RC35 forks with the single tubular steel type brace, not the later MXCD type with front and rear braces. Condition is not a major issue as long as the stanchions and lower legs are straight. Reason being something doesn’t feel quite right with...

The front end of my bike has been feeling pretty rubbish to be blunt so I decided to strip the Pace RC35s I fitted but didn’t refurbish in my excitement to get the bike built. As it’s a bit damp and drizzly outside I thought I’d take a look inside and the result is in the attached photo. From...

Hi, I’m looking for a higher end 1 inch quill type mountain bike stem for my Lee Cooper frame and Pace RC35 build, approximately 120mm length and ideally with a rise of between 5 and 15 degrees. I’m happy to go slightly longer or shorter but certainly no longer than 130mm. I’ve scoured around...

Hi, I’ve just bought this Lee Cooper steel mountain bike frame that I’m about to start building up using early 90s components wherever possible. I’ve got a set of Pace RC35 forks ready to go in once I’ve got a suitable 1 inch threaded headset. I’m not sure of the exact year of the frame but...
