Needs must and my old Pace has just been snapped up on ebay Really didn't want to sell it, but the car now comes first.

 

How much did it go for?

 

I like the look of the frame but if you get a new full sus bike you wont miss the old hardtail. Is the Pace bike the same brand as the Fork manufacturer?

 

nice bike how much is something like that worth

 

Legend bike Paul!!

Rich Woods was ALLLLWAYS after one of them!
did he know you were selling!?

 

I let it go for Ł550 Its over 13 years old but you wouldn't think it.

Keith, yes Pace still make the frames I believe but they are more renowned worldwide for their forks.

 

ok i know im blonde... but how can a bike that is 13 years old got for over Ł500



what is so special about it?

 

Matts bikes worth alot aswell, weird but defo a male thing!!

 

The reason it went for so much is it's a proper piece of engineering. Truly one of THE defining mountainbike frames....much less compromised than the later ones.

Lovely bike.

 

oh....

 

Maria,

You could ask the same about an Escort Cossie. Its old out-dated technology but some people out there will be 20k+ for a car thats nothing like as good as an Evo.

Desn't mean it isn't worth 20k tho

Nothing like an ESCOS

That frame is as good as any XC frame made today.

 

Hi Maria, they are all hand made and I think that they made less than 100 per year back then. As stated above, they were way ahead of their time. If it was a car they would have to give it it's own fridge on the top gear cool wall

 

Matt,

oops. So theres nothing better out there at the moment?

Those bikes are awesome. Always wanted an RC200 with RC35 forks. Truely stunning bike.

Give me a hardtail over a full suspension bike any day. Love getting the missus' rigid Specialised out for a play. A bit of retro mountainbiking. Downhilling on a rigid bike just tests you so much

 

Paul - i got ya now!

 

im sorry but its a fookin push bike ...bring back the grifter

 

I think its a new wave of retro-riders. That frame was the daddy of its time due to looking so different and not being produced in some foreign sweatshop!

 

Anybody remember the GT RTS-1? That bike made me get my Mag 21's

 

WOuld never go full sus hardtail

 

Agreed

 

Thought it might go for more Paul

Lovely bike anyway

 

Remember the days of Grifters and the Boxer as well..

Proper meaty bike

 

what like this gt rts-1

 

I had it up for Ł800 earlier in the year phil without a sniff. So the price had to come down. Someone snapped it straight up. Hey ho.

 

IMO for a tough xc hardtail nothing now is significantly better.

It has some really sweet design touches and it's awesomely well made.
