That's Dr. S's one isn't it?

Stunning bike..

Loved these from afar for about 15 years.. always going to be out of my reach I reckon

 

[graham1975]

Yes it is DR S bike lovely looking bike truly amazing, and worth what he is asking for it, but not sure he will pull it, we will see though

 

[IDB1]

I'd give him the asking price if I had it (to spend on a bike).. no problem.

Aye, being worth it is one thing, I just hope some one has the readies to buy it and love it, It isnt the sort of bike you can split down.

 

[graham1975]

And Jerky knows a thing or 2 about Paces thats for sure, nup it would be sacrilige to split something like that down, well you just couldnt simple as that i love my Pace RC200 and 1991 Orange Clockwork but im not sure i could spend 2K on a retro bike. I just find it odd he is selling it if i had it it would be worth 2K to just look and touch it everytime i went into the garage.

I have to say that it is always near impossible to sell a retrobike at that price as builds are very personal .
but this one is the exception for me as it has been restored to look like the original .

 

[graham1975]

i totaly agree with you there, but it is an old bike with old geometry and a low narrow riding style which is not the most comfortable positions, new bikes are alot better for riding riding, so although i have a Pace RC200 i feel it is a hell of alot of money for something which isnt that good if that makes sense :? :?

A £500 Boardman from Halfords will ride better than a 20 year old Pace- or 99% of the bikes on RetroBike for that matter. But that's not the point. You don't choose a Fiesta over a Daytona because the seats are more comfy or the boot is bigger do you?
This is a snapshot of history. An icon. An insect trapped in the amber. It's not a personal build and shouldn't be- it's how it left the factory. Fresh from the Tardis!
If it doesn't sell it can go up into the loft. Simples.
