Beaut! What tyres you running there?

Look like some Soma Cazaderos.

Correct!

Sweet! adds to basket

They are pretty fun to ride on. Still need to take it into some forests...

Spoke with the pleasant chaps at Ison distribution today, apparently nothing in the pipeline for Pacers, no old stock, nothing coming through, could well be another 12 months before anything is released. Bugger!
Will have to hope summat comes up on the 2nd market.

you're looking for just frameset? Tredz has pacers -- full bike tho...

not a pacer in stock at the moment, but worth a phone call....[http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/]

There are some cheap nice steel frames here: https://shop.enigmabikes.com/collections/factory-outlet

Aye, phoned most of the stockists this mornin, nowt to be had. Lookin for a pacer frameset specifically, to keep my cc company in the bike cave. Will just have to wait I guess.

Had a search but can't find the details.
Sure i read that the Pacer was being dropped a while back.
Guess it has.

Several years back the Instigator was dropped.
After a serious reworking and bringing up to date the Instigator was reborn. So maybe the Pacer is down but not out, but would it come back in Steel........

We rode our Krampus and Karate Monkey through Estonia a couple of weeks ago.

They both made good job on different terrains of the Swamp Thing Trail

There is something in the works that I guess might replace the pacer, but it would be a bit of a shame if it did (unless it keeps the Steamroller/Pacer geo and almost has an acceptable headtube in 56... please surly... please...)

The Pacer isn't niche, it's an uncompetitive product.

I saw a lot of those frame bags on northern eu bikes, whats the name of the company again? Is that one thats stopped making?

Does anyone have a krampus here, on 26" wheels? I am looking to get the krampus forks for my mtb and even though they are 29er forks, they match the current rockshox a-c that i am replacing...

Interested to hear your experience with them in that situation. I've got some Sim Works homages on my Cross Check and while I'm finding them to be passable all-rounder tires, I'm starting to feel like I could do better.

@spotter yeah the label on the frame bags is KRNKY and it was my girlfriend's company and I helped with the online stuff and with product development too. We had to leave it because the lack of time but have been stitching the labels to all the custom bags we've done to ourselves and friends.

Went mushroom and berry pickin in the woods today!

Great looking bike. Are those TRP Spykes?

Jepp! I don't weigh that much and got a pretty good deal on them so thought I'd give them a go. Pretty nice so far!

Loving that
