Old ones were great, new ones are great, but I still can't afford one.
Like a certain belgian beer, reassuringly expensive :roll:

Oooh wicked! Looking forward to that!
I too am not a great fan of Pace, as i have owned 4 pairs of forks and all had 'issues'. You think i would learn!!
but this is a vote on square tubes. I think they have lost the thing that makes them unique. They are just another bike brand now, and i think thats a shame in these days of mass produced ordinaryness! :roll:

The RC303/5 says to me that Pace are still thinking "out of the box".
Sure - the FS designs aren't that different to other,similar FS frames out there. But the 303/5 hardtail is a different kind of bike to most other hardtails out there.
I've always liked Pace kit though - and used á lot of it over the years.
Losing the square tubes was a no-compromise solution to get them to where they wanted to be design/conceptwise, even at the risk of alienating hard-core Pace fans. But at the end of the day they are a business.
I'd buy a Pace again, if the need arose.
