Pace Rc100

[Tomianson]

Here’s a new project, I’ve hankered after a good one of these for ages.

1991 Pace RC100. In black. This was bought new as a frameset by the last owner including the Bullseye cranks, Rc30 forks, stem and Magura brakes, then he built it up from there.

The Mavic mechs work well but I’m not a Gripshift fan so I’ll put sone thumbies on. The Syncros handlebar is cut, and since I’m not going to be a bike courier in london, I’ll put some full length bars on. Tyres, saddle and a few little other details to change.

Bloody nice. Feels fast.

Interestingly, the Magura brake lever bar clamps were drilled for lightness by Pace. I think they did this for the RC100, is that right.

Yes. The Magura's that came with my RC100 also have the machined clamps.

Keep meaning to get mine done, just never gets far enough up the to do list

Nice find. Iconic bike and you can put your own stamp on it.

Wow, those bars are seriously narrow.

Very nice

That is nice! Quirky spec too. It's a dream bike for me.

Yes that is right, they milled slots into the clamps. Very cool.

Those bars are bonkers narrow with the brake levers "crossing", can't believe we road bikes off road with bars that narrow! Ghostbusters avoided crossed streams and we should have avoided crossed brake levers!

Some lovely components on this one. Will you be going for Mavic wishbone shifters? I also think some tan walls will help bring some colour contrast to the build. Whatever you do, you always seem to do a very nice job with your bikes!
