Pace RC35 from Ebay arrived today - need elastomers, a longer steerer, then wallop - it'll get done sharpish! Oh, and decals.

Looks great!

And it’s finished
Greased the headset, switched the brakes around, fixed a puncture, installed the bb circlips, shortened the chain and pumped up the forks.
Test ridden around the block a few times highlighted perhaps the chain is past its best, but that’s it.
