The 2023 Malverns has a lot to answer for!!!!
After going there on the friday,i couldn't help being drawn into the retrobike area which was full of great bikes on show,but,one brand i wanted to show my son was Pace,having raced on one of these bitd with the Royce uk factory team.
That following weekend i spent hrs searching for a pace frame and happened to find an rc200 f5 on ebay. The deal was done and a few days later it arrived. Upon unboxing things didn't look ok. It had a broken seat tube clamp and the bb seemed stuck. Luckily,the seller said he'd give a refund so the search was on again!
This time a wanted ad i put on the facebook Pace group came up trumps....i was offered an 18" f4 frame which after checking the serial number was my old frame i sold 10 years ago!!!
