How to identify pace rigid forks...?

[crouch_potato]

Hi Folks,
What are the differences between pace rigid forks? (no, not the new carbon ones, the old ones). I'm just wondering how you identify the various models and what kind of prices they seem to go for if in decent nic. Some illustrated examples might help.

cheers,

the earlier welded dropout models are worth more than the press fit into the leg dropouts.

First Generation = Top Pic
Second Generation = Second pic
Third Generation = same as second generation but with modern looking crown (like RC36 Pro Class)


The crowns on the these pictured below are both one inch - easily identified in that they are 'flat'. Inch and an eighth crowns have a small bulge in the centre when the steerer passes thru and inch and a quarter ones have an even bigger bulge......so all three types can be identified quite quickly from a distance so to speak.

e.g Bottom pic is an 1 1/4" crown

HTH
