Pace fork identification

[albatros38]

Hi,

I've got this Pace RC35 fork.
I try to know the year of production. Never see before this brace.
I don't found this information on Goatsurfer page.

Did somebody know ?
Thanks

Customised RC35 AB ?
early sample, greaseports and not quite brace?
or a modified homebrew RC35 or 3rd party brace.
Still going to be around 1992/3

The brace is bounded on carbon leggs, so it's not sure for customised or modified option

Re:

Where is it bonded? all I can see is two bolts (Titanium at that)

I know Scapin where using PACE forks too.

Removing the bolts and brake stud, the brace can't be removed from the leggs

Re:

It's a standard fork as I had one with the same brace. From memory it was the last version of the original design from around 1993/4. Yours looks like it has replacement decals.

Hmmmm, although looking now your brace is different but similar.

it's the brace that's the question and injector ports on the other side..


Hammer the brace off ;-)
(don't, no idea if they're bonded or it's just grime holding it there. I would guess grime.)

Could it be a ShockTech Pace copy ?

doubt it, they used a different crown and a manitou style brace (two bolts either side of the brace).
(I think the carbon was called 'carbon race')
this is too much like a pace, but you never know.

needs a PACE know it all, anyone..
