    why doesn't pace make their classic rc 200 frame again?

    it's a classic design,and still viable today (not that i had the good fortune to own/try one) in my opinion.if they started to make their classic rc 200,it would still sell like hot cakes.i really think that they let go of a great frame (am not really into their new frames t.b.h).also while i'm...

    why do you prefer a retro bike to a modern bike?

    would genuinely like to hear your reasons.i definitely love classic bikes (from my 1988 dawes ascent that was my first mtb) to superbikes such as kleins/merlins/trimbles e.t.c. is it that you feel more connected when you ride one.just love that time period of mountain biking,all the great cnc'd...
