My God I love that... I think he should have shown the weld. How do you break a PACE frame? It's essentially a cruiser unless you trust the repair.

How do you break a PACE frame?

Look at it :(

Interesting... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50783&sid=7d4c418bebfa56c1fa4dd771fa837230 page 3 onwards. It seems shimming a seatpost did a similar thing with the top tube weld.

How do you break a PACE frame?

I think the question should be 'how do you avoid breaking a PACE frame?'. They were pretty notorious for it.

I just remember ogling PACE frames when I was a lot younger and into MTB, I had no idea they were so easy to knacker! I always thought they were bombproof! Lol.

Might of be posted before but price keeps coming down.

A lot of RC200's from back then when we all REALLY wanted one cracked over time. Then the 305 and 405 were terrible for cracking and Pace got a bit of a beating over tight warranties. Think a few of the lovely 129ers from 10 years ago cracked as well.

Ooooh that chrome chainstay wrap over. Delicious.

Massive bargain, no?

I think the image of a Yorkshire welder with a pint mug of tea was probably a bit too reassuring in this case. The clue is in how many used ones you actually see for sale - not many!

Agreed. Love the paint too. Bloody enormous though which might well make it niche.

Phwoar 54cm Duell in SLX £500 with some very nice Campag. Love the seat cluster. Odd ratios tho!...

I’ve just reported that sale. That rim is totally unsafe to ride and he’s taking the piss trying to sell it.
