I can’t find any reviews beyond this pretty scant MBUK article http://www.bikeradar.com/MTB/gear/category/frames/mountain/product/3255-frame-10-37895

I’m looking to set one up with Pikes and SS for a second bike – Can anyone give me a personal perspective?

My personal perspective is that it’s hideous. The old one was really nice, don’t know what they are thinking with that awful kinked top tube.

The 303 & 305 are great bikes to ride but I think pace have really shot themselves in the foot with some of the worst customer service out there. Lots of frames snapped at the seat cluster and people were fobbed off. That’s probably why the design changed but it’s now really hard for people to have any faith in the product.

Ok, poor customer service and subjective view on aesthetics aside – has anyone actually ridden one?
