1987ish. RC100 complete bike with bullseye cranks and Maguras. No options or compromise.
Very very good but Pace were smart enough to realise the limited market potential so in 1992/1993 the released the RC200F, a frameset with a standard 68mm english BB and 1" head set. Square seat tube so Mavic, Campagnolo or Suntour front mechs were the only option.
RC 200F2 was a refined version of the above.
Realising this was limiting their market to riders who did not want the full benefits of shimano's dual sis they relented in 1994 and added a round seat tube to the RC200F3.
The RC200F4 was a refined version of that and then they went to a 1 1/8" head set on the RC200F5. (edit, may not have happened until F6)
The RC200F6 was a refined version of that and so on until the RC200F8.
Pace then bought out the RC300 with a carbon seat tube.
Pace either diluted their original design OR refined and perfected it depending on who you speak to. I belive they are all beautiful and just represent the change in direction of a succesful and innovative british company. Discuss

F8 was 2000.
RC300 was about 2002 if I remember correctly.
As for the nice collection... I WISH!
The RC200F6 with the purple stem is mine.
The RC200F4 with spinergy's is Jez's.
The RC100 with yellow forks is retrobikeguy's.
I know not who own's the very sexy black RC100 team issue. The only other one like that I have seen was Steve Worland's.
Cheers.

Oooops!
do remember steve worlands team bike. Nice!
always fancied a pace since 1990. remember a guy hucking off cannock chase quarry on a RC100 with yellow bullseyes etc. he looked a bit of a mess when the ambulance picked him up. :shock: the bike was fine though!
pace always looked well thought out with excellent build quality IMHO plus the fact that are British always appealed. hmmm.......
