Bars, stem and seatpost for Pace RC200 F5

[Northernmonkey]

Hi all

I’m looking for recommendations for what bars, stem and seatpost to fit to an F5 Pace. What’s around the right era and looks the part too? Would like to keep the black bar ends, so an extra inch on the bars wouldn't go a miss!

Thanks!

Re:

Hello,
My F5 came with a Ringle seatpost and Ringle ahead stem, and Pace RC130 flat bars.
And Onza L-bend bar ends.
All in red anodised!
Regards

Can’t go wrong with Ringlé, Synchros or X-Lite. The latter in particular has a really nice square section milled stem that goes very well with the Pace frame.

Pace also did a stem from that era (RC45), and obviously Pace Renthal RC130 bars look mint.

Don’t try a shimmed seatpost (so that knocks out USE as an option, I think). Unless you use the correct (and slightly unusual) size of 29.4mm, the frames are prone to cracking.

As for my F6, but of a mix of Thomson post, Ringlé stem, Yeti bars and X-Lite bar ends. And I love it!

I have some nice red X-Lite bar ends. PM me if interested.

Pace, Pace, Thomson.

Ok, Thomson not period correct, but you try finding a decent 29.4 seatpost!

I have a nice Qranc stem in silver that would look great on a Pace
