Pace always had good deals on DT swiss stuff when i dropped in to say hello. Good luck with frames etc.. I am saving the pennies for the single speed, hopefully get one just in time for the summer Bit of a bummer really. Pace always had good deals on DT swiss stuff when i dropped in to say hello.

Water will always get inside a frame (seatpost, BB, headset) so breather holes are not a problem - they probably assist in a frame drying out quicker :) I’d disagree with that.

It looks basic and cheap in comparison to even small outfits like BETD or similar - compared to other bike/frame manufacturers (let alone the big ones) it's comical. I've just bought (well, waiting for delivery of) a Pace RC405 frame. I bought it as it was at an excellent price (thanks CRC!) and had very good reviews from STW, BikeRadar and a mate that rides one. I was nearly *dissuaded* from taking the plunge by the Pace website's lack of information, detail, warranty data or apparent interest in their current or potential customers Pace need to do something quite serious with their website – like junk it and start again.
