Help ID these Pace forks

[stanno]

Having a clearout and found 2 Pace forks - can anyone help with ID'ing them and what I should be asking if I list them here?

Both have never been fitted since I bought them but feel smooth. The one with the blue detail is 1 1/8" and V brake only - the other is 1" disc. Both steerers are 27cm (uncut?).

Any info appreciated!

Bottom set are MXCD

Sure enough - from 1995. Thanks Mr Ox. The blue markings mean they are the hard version, apparently.

A bit more rooting around makes me think the other set are RC36 EVO III's. Looks like there might be a shim to accommodate the 1" steerer, so suppose it could be replaced with a 1 1/8.

Any idea what I should list these for?

Re:

Not sure the blue crown ends suggest anything but some9nes taste in colour. Have bought various colours to match builds.

Model wise, do they have a damper dial on the top of one leg. If so, mxcd, if not mxc.

I think anyway.

On goatsurfer they match MXCD rather than MXC, but they don't have a dial - caps only.

Re:

Top set is year 2000 RC36 Evo 3. Be careful with those magnesium bridges!

Lower set is 1995/6 RC35 MXCD. If they have cylindrical shims on the stanchion tops they are 1996 and had the multicoloured rub down transfer decal that blew off in the wind. If they have single split shim on inside they are 1995 and should have the foil 'welder' decal. Damper assembly was added as an extra to the early forks & fork could be factory fitted with it before sale. Damper kit was also sold as an upgrade to those forks sold originally without the damper fitted. The MXC had a narrower crown and a solid front bridge, and the dropout blades were inline with the centreline of the carbon legs. The MXCD and MD had a wider crown & inset dropouts thought to be a mod to allow for the just emerging disc brakes. MXC was kept on in 1996 and sold with the option of the Ti upgrade kit for the weight weenies. Blue crown caps are just an option, also available in black, red, purple silver, together with matching bridges.

Re:

Thanks justbackdated.

Yes, that ties in with what I gleaned from other replies and from looking at GoatSurfer. They are both on ebay at the moment (finishing 7pm this evening - links in the usual place).
