I'd decided to get the merlin commencal build, up until this morning when the local bike shop rung and asked if i wanted an ex demo pace frame...... arghhh

any suggestions?

i havent rung them back yet but i asume they will do a similar build to merlin for roughly the same price

Cheers

    I was lucky enough to borrow a friends Pace a few days ago and loved the thing. Its probably one of the nicest bike I have ever used. If I had the cash I would have had one my self. But I have just ordered a Giant. Even though I love the Pace I can get the full Giant bike for the price of the Pace frame. If you can get one cheap I would say snap there arms off.

    600 or 700 for the frame i think they said was a while ago then i asked them about it.

    i know they get a good write up but i dunno if the mags are skightly biased towards the brits :)

    been to the cycle shop, said they can do the ex demo full bike for 2000 which is pace dt swiss forks and shock xtr hubs a nd brakes xt cranks and groupset. said its pushing the back end of 3 grand. but im unsure, does it seem alt for a ex demo or do i go with meta which is 300 cheaper and more affordable for me?

    help!!

    only the pace cos its too far to drive for the commencal. but i rang the shop and told them i could only stretch to 1800 so see if hey ring back. if they do ill have it otherwise its the commencal
