Pace RC100 (XC-pro)

[retrobikeguy]

My Pace Rc100, first saw one in riverside cycles (york) and wanted one eversince, so I got one.
Xc-pro gruppo, pace hubs, Bullseye cranks, 4 finger maguras and original fork & suspension upgrade (if you needed it).

Great bikes

The Pace is the winner for me though, absolutely awesome.

Ace bike mate, did you buy it as we see it or have you put your own spin on it?.

I agree! back in the day I always aspired to one of these...could only manage forks / hubs/ & chainrings (all still in use today!) . Excellent to see an original RC100...where did you find it , (I remeber seeing one some years ago in Biketreks Ambleside)

Pretty much as you see her, originally had mark 1 gripshift but I couldnt find any new grips so I stuck on some xc-pro thumbies to keep in with the gruppo.

The RC100 is a great bike. I remember test riding one and being blown away by the speed.

Innovative and engineered properly. Just happened to look great too. And that is a fine example sir!!

Pace spec sheets........

Since you all seem to like the old Rc100, I have posted some spec sheets (original Pace) in the magazine scan section.
Enjoy.

No luck on the bullseye specs but if you keep an eye out on eBay.com a new pair usually come up for grabs with instructions, you could ask the seller to email you the spec sheet? anythings worth a try , also im not sure if Pace made their own spider :? :?:

Mmmmm Pace-eyyyy.................

Brings back memories... A mate of mine worked for the bloke who did the product photography for Pace's catalogs. I called in one day and a late prototype of the RC100 had just been dropped off (fresh from a test ride...). Spent half a hour cleaning it up and fiddling with seat height etc. for them. By the end of the half hour I was hooked, and called Pace from the photographers to pre-order one as soon as they got into production

Was probably the fastest, if not the most comfortable mountain bike I ever had, and even now, if I got my hands on the thieving scroat that nicked it out of the back of my van I'm pretty sure i'd be "getting medieval on his ass..." :twisted:
