My old team issue Pace rc200 from about 25 years ago is finally back in my hands and coming back to London with me today! 😍
It originally had Sram 9.0 mechs and shifters, and Hope brakes, but now has XTR mechs and combined shifters/brake levers, and Avid BB7 brakes. It's Syncros post is long gone, and the original Pace rc35 stem and Pace bars have been switched to a Hope stem and Easton carbon monkeylite bars.
Still has the original Hope ti hubs, original Middleburn square taper cranks and Pace rings, original Chris King rasta headset minus the green top cap.
I have a set of singlespeed dropouts at home for it, so I think it's going to be changing setup into something more useful for street use.
I have to say though... It's scary as fuck to ride now having been riding nothing but my Omnium cargo for years. I'm not used to the light weight and razor sharp handling. 😬
