Pace RC500 DH project. 1st pictures added!

[JeRkY]

I wasnt expecting or even wanting a new project at the moment, I have far too many on the go at once as it is, and am meant to be downsizing the fleet prior to my move to London.

So any way long story short...I bought the Pace DH frame that has been sat in the London Bridge On your bike store since the year dot.

First request is a general shout out for any articles/brochures featuring the frame, and any idea for build kit. (I got the frame, RC150 monster forks and a rather nice Hope bolt through rear hub)

So any literature etc would be appreciated (I know there were a number of unfavourable reviews floating around about the frame, but it doesnt worry me...I bought it for its shiney Yorkshire squareness )

Pictures to follow when I figure out where the hell I put my camera

Nice work, I saw that sucker down to £600 on Wednesday and forgot to post it up here. Turns out the Credit Crunch is a good thing, down to 600 was not bad really considering the vintage. Although i had enough probs getting a set of forks in the house this week, let alone a frame and monster forks!!!

The frame still has a slightly faded price tag on the BB shell, £1495 for the frame alone once upon a time!

I can see from the pic that you got 2 forks with the frame. Well done.
