Today I have become a member of the Pace family
Bought myself a tatty and tired (what I believe to be) RC200F3 frame off a work college. Has had the head tube/down tube joint repaired/rewelded, was painted black and stripped with nitromors.
A project for MM next year I think as I can't make this years :cry:
Pics and serial number to follow as I left the frame at work DOH !!

And a question to the Pace guru's, what size seat post is it likely to be if it is an RC200F3 ??? :?:

 

[Rich]

My F1 is a 27.0mm, but later models up to f5/f6 ran with 27.2mm...hopefully one of the F3 owners will be able to confirm

Welcome mate!

Should be right. They were shimmed to 27.2

Serial number is 18RC0825.
Seat post appears to be 29.4 (according to my digi calipers), so will prob get a USE shim and fit a 27.2 as they are more widely available.
How the rest of the build goes is anyone's guess, though I do have a Middleburn RS3 chainset I could fit :idea: but think I need to sort forks and stem 1st
