Hi Folks, as I briefly mentioned in the NY resolution thread, I will be winding up my Pace fork servicing business FORK-English within this year after 18 years.
Business has tailed off in recent years but it has given me the opportunity to carry out many fulfilling rebuilds, services and custom builds of countless Pace forks, following on from 7 years working at Pace, initially in the fork department and then as the service/warranty guy. There can’t be many Pace forks without my fingerprints!!

With the help of my many valued customers it has been a privilege to ‘Keep the Pace’ over the years, my aim from the start to do a proper job’.

As some of you will know, I have been reducing my collection of Pace parts on here and more recently on the ‘bay (thatretrothing) which I will continue to do.
I have a few rare items to sort out, together with my collection of ‘sample’ and prototype forks which I will rebuild and clear gradually. I will try and sort a sales thread on here soon.

I will add to this thread with some details of the various custom builds and conversions that I have carried out, together with some service and safety details covering the various fork models.

So many thanks to all who have allowed me to work on their forks, wether for servicing or the many rebuilds, restorations and custom projects. I will continue working on forks for a short while yet.

Cheers everyone
Tim
Next instalment: The Frankenpace monster!

….er.. not to be confused with the ‘Monstor’!
 
Sorry to hear that, but its important in business to recognise the curve, before you become a victim of it.

Thanks for the advice and good luck with future endeavours.
 
Thanks for all your service to the community over the years Tim
 
Oh my, I've a couple old Pace airforce in good condition but not ridden for years, I was after servicing, not gotten around to it.
Is it worth me dropping a pm to organise this?
I bought some parts, probably from you with a view to doing it myself but I've never been brave enough as yet!
If I've missed the boat, hats off to you sir, I know you've been an amazing go to man for your thing for a long time.
Hopefully you will continue to retro ride and offer advice etc.
Regards Ben
