Love it, you've made me buy another one, a 1992 though, but standard. Just a tidy up, service and some fresh decals. I miss having a do it all bike in the garage!

Can I take this please?

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I won’t be better without another transplant really. I have a few irons in the fire with mates that have come forward to see if there a match.

Thanks! Yeah, it was always inevitable as a transplant isn’t forever. I just had a spate of stupid infections and pneumonia last November that did a bit too much damage to it unfortunately. Such is life eh! It’s 4 year today since I had it too.

A quick update of parts that have recently arrived for the build. I had to pop them on today as I’m getting itchy feet, and I was feeling up to it. Reason being, is that I have recently had to start Dialysis again as my Kidney Transplant has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse. Such is life!

The correct one is now fitted as that was broken.

A little bit more done today to the Pace. Managed to get a 1” Controltech stem. Ok, so not what I ultimately wanted but it will suffice for now. Also popped the recently purchased wheels on too. It’s slowly getting there.

Thanks! Plenty more to do yet mind....

Had an hour or so on the Pace this afternoon. I got the conversion sleeve too for my forks, to convert to 1" steerer tube, so that was done. I also got the decals fitted on the frame, thanks to Gil for sorting these before xmas

A beauty mate!

Very nice! We have a couple over on the Dyna-Tech Facebook group, IIRC.

Got to love a Raleigh Off Road Series bike! I had all 4 in the 92 collection up to about 6 months ago and I got offered good £ for them so I parted with them, but I do regret selling the Apex I must admit...! A before and after shot..

One thing I do know, its no body on our Dyna-Tech Facebook group! I cant say I've ever seen that livery before!

I had a potter in the garage this afternoon, and I couldn't resist from doing something to the Pace RC200 F5 frame. I decided that the only thing I could really do for now, was to fit the 1" Chris King headset I had bought. As it came off an F5, I didn't have to get any machining/etc done...

Hope you all had a good Xmas! I managed to get some fresh decals for the build just before Xmas via Gil @ RetroDecals. Im just waiting for Tim @ ForkEnglish to get some bits in for the forks, and i may just make a start in January..

Very nice, we have a few over on the Raleigh Dyna-tech FB group. Following with interest

Anyone would think I’m happy! I am after 26 years waiting to own one!

A nice package to come home to today. The Chris King 1" headset, that has come off a Pace RC200 F5, so has already had some work done to it, to fit correctly. That's it for buying bits for 2023 I think!

Its arrived! And to be honest with it, its better than the pictures lead to believe, and what I had heard about it. Ok, so its never going to be a concours build anyway, and this wouldn't be the frame for that. The BB issue, I'm happy with for now in fairness, I'm not going to risk cracking...

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing more.
