What have I just dragged out shed?

[Mickeyspinn]

Ok....I've been round and round and round again like a dog chasing its tail......and I've ended up back here... Courtesy of another thread ....
Pacific cycles isn't just a manufacturer it's a brand too!

My seatpost is anodised black inside....it's been polished off outside! It's the same. My forks were black ....the stem was black....and I'm pretty sure the frame was black as there's still bits in the weld beads.
Headsets a match...
All cable routing and dropouts are the same.
It has a Pacific frame number...thanks @kingoffootball and @KermitGKona88

I think this is it !

The Pacific 7 comp....not a bad spec bike....nice to see it's suntour equipped.....I like that

I like the paintjob. You all deserve a drink for such good detective work, and I think I deserve one for being the spirit that keeps you all going.

Ah yes.

Will you keep this beer can for a future project or will it go the rounds to another Retrobiker, who can put it in his work stand, take it out, put it back in. As the frame remains bare, and the bottles pile up.

Life of addicts.

I really don't know imlach....put a fair few hours and megabytes into finding out what is...I guess Ive become "slightly" attached to it's uniqueness!
Might be another in the UK might not!?...great bike but brand name didn't catch scenario... essentially exactly the same as a fisher al1 bar the canti hanger set up,same geo and tubing same parts too!
I think it would be rude not to give a proper full polish atleast and then go from there I guess

Yeah, branding is a stupid mindgame anyway, all about the quality of the frame. Looks like it'd polish up nicely, I always had a thing for polished alu bikes with pure black components, looks slick. Could turn it into a gravel cruncher, full black on silver. It's a shame I don't like alu bikes, because rawed frames look good. I will probably have a crack at gun bluing a frame sometime. Been thinking of doing that to my Mi80 which I currently keep putting stuff on, pulling off, putting on, pulling off.

Here's a white t shirt really nice quality but with our amazing brand name on it....£29.95
I quite like plain white tees....

I like a happy ending. Some class detective work gone on there! Just shows the collective mind and knowledge of the RB crowd.

Oh I see, it's like that is it... Me and @kingoffootball put a load of legwork in and you and he deserve a drink... Don't mind us brains the size of planet... We will just carry on searching and informing people... Would probably die of thirst, if we could die of thirst, and I doubt anyone would even notice...

I would never have got anywhere without those two coming up with stuff! And then Google gave up nothing other than retrobike ....funny that!
