PACE RC200 F2.. update mock up build....

[magicmistertea]

Wonder if you'll stick to that.

Since i built mine i'm using it a lot and riding it as hard as I'm able. It just seems to demand it. Fantastic fun!

Any progress pics for us?

a quick mock up build...

bits to add...
mavic wishbone shifters
mavic front mech
xt rear mech (need to change the green bits)
silver ringle h20
magura hydrostops (black)
xtr m900 cranks
syncros bb and headset

i changed the hyperlites for some syncros bars..
i still need to re-spray the forks, but i do have the silver caps for the tops of the rc30s...
im wondering if a syncros stem would suit the build better ?
i dont like the yellow ringle logo ! :roll: it ruins the colour scheme

Looking good, but may I suggest going the canti brake route? Your RC200 is the canti mount version and doesnt feature the Magura specific mounts.

Although you wont have any trouble fitting the mags to a canti stud, I just feel canti's would be better suited.

If you do decide to keep the maguras, you should consider machining the levers down to save a little weight, like pace used to do on ones they supplied. (I can supply pics if required.


Edit: ahhh the canti cable stops been chopped on the rear! gotcha

yep you got it !!
I spent a while wondering about getting a canti stop re-welded to the frame... i allready had some kooka canti levers and onza ho cantis ready for the build ( now not required) but decided black maguras would be cool... Im not really going for a period/ component correct build, just a cool looking bike look !!
Allthough i was wondering if id need some adapter type things to fit the maguras ? all the pace rc 30s with maguras i have seen are rear mounted.. i take it i can fit them on the front of the forks without too many problems ? oh well i guess im going to find out !!

Hope hub + Pace frame = Happy (if noisy) days!!!

I have some green SRP crank bolts, swap me some stock shimano allen key ones and they're yours. I'd like to donate to this project.

Thats the badgers, the back of the lever is machined out. They did the same with the XT thumbie mounts.
