Time to out another of my old rides, this time its non Fat. Don't worry, normal service will be resumed as soon as I finish my SAB and Fat Ti.
This one is from a small UK builder not often heard of outside Europe from 1990 and has some interesting touches. One of the firsts on the RC100 was the headset arrangement. It uses a modded Suntour headset, machined out threads to make a aheadset. The stem and steerer is one piece and bolts into the crown and is adjusted with a allen head bolt. Other nice touches are the 100mm bottom bracket- lots of mud clearance for the UK trails and the Magura brakes bolted directly to special boses on the frame. Pace also introduced a carbon legged suspension fork for this bike in 1991- another first?
I found this bike last year after lusting after one for the last 18 years. It was in pretty good shape structurally but needed a full resto. It is now completely factory standard and wears mainly NOS parts.
