Love the build! The only thing I would change would be the tyres; swap for some NOS Amber walls and then she'll be perfect. i think the bright green draws the eye from the lovely details elsewhere.

The frame on its own lying on the grass was how it arrived in my possesion

yeh i know what your saying, my angle was i just wanted to get a little bit more colour on the bike other than just black/gold/silver

tyres are easy enough to change tho eh ! i'm also not sure i like the black pedals now, might swap them for some mx30's or similar

Love the gold accents, but agree with the tyres and pedals comments.

 

[BobCatMax]

those tyres are a touch on the green side, aren't they

 

[ratcapa]

Nice bike, love those forks and that frame finish is proper nice. Agree with some of the others on the tyres though I'm afraid.

Top build none the less

Why is this bike 'she'? I've never ridden a Pace, but I understood them to be the most male of all frames - as strong and hard as they come.
