I'd be very inclined to pick up the Pace at that price. Seems a real Goldilocks bike, good writeups.

Really enjoying my Genesis Tarn 27.5+ with rigid fork. Bit of a beast in comparison to the lightweight XC Boardman rigid I had before. Plus sized tyres provide much more comfort and the grip is amazing after 26" x 2.2". Feels a bit of a tank at times and is a bit weighty so you end up steamrollering over obstacles rather than riding around with finesse! Rode it on a lot of rocky terrain up in the NW of Scotland the last couple of months and would consider suspension forks if I rode it more often.

I've been thrashing my 1x1 around the Peak District for the last couple of months and after taking a beating on Cut Gate, I don't feel confident enough to take it on the trip up Helvellyn I'd got planned for next weekend. So, intro over with, what "modern" steel hardtail frame?
Requirements are:
Current options around the £300-400 mark are Ritchey timberwolf, DMR trailstar, Transition transam, Sick something or other, Pace RC127. The latter looks a bit conservative to my eyes (i.e. not slack) and is reduced for today only.
Opinions and advice appreciated. I have no idea what I'm doing :)
