Hello
I have a nice pair of Pace RC35s, c.1993 or thereabouts. They're the ones with the milled brace as opposed to the later ones that had a cheapy tubular one. They're 1 inch steerer ones; the steerer tube is one I machined myself from aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminium with something like 5 or 6mm wall thickness, so it's bombproof.
They were sent back to the manufacturer (Adrian of Pace is a neighbour of my cousin) in about 2005 or so to have one of the dropouts rebonded; they also did a full service at the time. They've had little offroad use since. There's a pic here: http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/show-us-your-steel-its-real.16850/post-351523
Anyway, I'm looking for something with 100-120mm travel and a 1 1/8 steerer for a project bike. Ideally they should be fairly light; this could be offset by them needing a rebuild/service as I can do that stuff.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Cheers, Andy
