Hi There,
Just thought I'd share my latest progress with my new (old) Pace RC200 f5. Have been riding an f8 for about 7 years now, but completely modern spec. So, here is my ode to the RC series...
Taken it for a quick (on-road) spin, and feels so stiff, like a short wheel-based whippet. Can't wait to get it on the trails. Just a few bits to sort out...
I've tried to keep it British, where possible (silver and light) and i've tried to keep it in date.
A few things still need work:
Saddle - think i may have a flite on its way
Seatpost - have a blue 25.0 USE post, but looking for a silver post (keeping the blue mounts) - anyone have one going?
Front (and possibly rear) brakes - maybe have a machine tech front coming
Rear Wheel - looking to swap current freewheel for freehub if anyone's interested?
Grips - not sure, any suggestions?
Pedals - looking for some early Shimano SPds....
Anyway, would appreciate any inspiration any of you had, any comments and more...
Cheers
