Pace RC100

That's a hell of an asking price!!

Then again, mine was around £1,300, back in 1990

Not too sure of that really. It's a unique sample in unused condition and represents a milepost bike of it's period. It is worth what somebody is prepared to pay and a collector of a certain age may well be prepared to spend that amount to have it in their possesion.
Crikey, I never owned one but even just looking at the pictures of it I can almost smell my late teenage years.....

Always wondered what these things were like to actually ride.

It's bloody lovely though.

Can't see the attraction

I rode one last week, in great condition, looks great, in fact I think it might be for sale. It was a nice ride but there's been so much development since then.

Think it would take more than that, I just don't see anything special about it, it's an old bike, so what? I also don't believe it has never been ridden not that it matters

Square tubes, machined externally, at a time when aluminium was a very unusual frame material. Handbuilt in Yorkshire.

They do have a small but rabid following. In some ways technically innovative, but for all that they didn't ride any better than their contemporaries. Whether the current market will support that price is anyone's guess, but fair play to him if he gets it.

Visible, if very minor, wear on the front rim suggests it has been ridden. He's either more gullible than Accy was when he bought those magic beans and really believes it, or he's full of sheet.
