This was originally bought from STW about 4-5 years ago. Lovely steel frame and has done everything from XC, Trail centre, gravel, road, monster cross, and baby carrier.

Good working order (been using it as a baby carrier SS and previously SS XC, geared XC and Monstercross drop…both without any issues)
…..but had a crack in the seat tube expansion slot as the clever designer from Pace put the slot on the side???! Been professionally repaired (Winston Vaz at https://www.varonha.co.uk ) and sadly it went again.
I could have got it repaired and Winston recommended just a full collar and new slot, but I got distracted and just drilled the end of the crack and not propagated as a short term fix that has ended up as a long term fix! I’ve ridden it XC and more recently baby carrying duty… little one no longer little and is on her own balance bike. It’s a great frame.
Also a number of paint chips that have been touched up with colour correct (from Pace) yet looks different. And a tiny handlebar dink on the top tube under where the Pace sticker once sat. Can feel it with your finger but a sod to photograph! I’ve had a STW typical sticker over it and completely forgot it was there. Can supply stickers.
Rides great. Beautiful frame. If I had the time I’d repair, respect and enjoy.
£350 posted for the above or will split.
Cheers

I keep staring at this, though I was holding out for a short travel xc 29er, I’m very tempted just to go back to riding bikes from 10-15 years ago as they seem to suit my riding style (i.e. mincer).
How tall are you?
how long have you been riding it with the crack as it is?
