Peachy Pace RC529…FINISHED Pg22

[Peachy!]

Looking forward to seeing it built up with full carbon (including wheels) to lessen the steam roller effect

I think with me as its pilot its only ever going to be a steam roller...

 

[Peachy!]

Dont build them like they used to, though should be able to handle a lot of abuse

Have you decided on a colour/finish yet?

Yup, raw steel (well nickel plated but not highly polished) Full off the shelf XT M8100 although I've managed to find some scuffed M8100 cranks cheap that will be getting painted yellow...
Oh and of course my saddle of choice; a yellow flite Titanium that needs some work...

Looks er, cheap. All you see is the yellow. If that’s the effect you’re after?

 

[The History Man]

Fork grips and saddle maybe but polished cranks.

 

[Takingabreak]

maybe it needs a little more yellow - yellow tyres...

 

[Peachy!]

Thanks for the bants… but what I really need is some help sourcing some appropriate forks.
Pace spec these;
Rockshox Pike Ultimate RC2 140mm travel (150mm optional depending on availability). Charger RC2 damper. 42mm offset, Stealth bolt thru. Black
At £850 a pop!

what I could do with is a similar spec or a pair with some light gravel rash to bring the price tag down….

 

[Takingabreak]

a little bit of googling reveals that modern suspension forks are a tad pricey. I'd be pondering aborting the mission at those prices.

£850....

Wow. You must do a huge round! How do you carry all those sunday supplements?

Oh, i see! Thats why you need a 29er. Its going to have a trailer fitted.

In all seriousness the fox factory step cast are 500g lighter!
