We were so impressed with the recon job done on these PACE Air Force forks that we thought we should tell you all about it.

These beauties belong to Mr John Walker and are usually attached to his 1996 Bontrager Race Light which is currently in the workshop for some TLC (thats Tighten, Lube & Clean!). Since Pace forks were bought by DT Swiss they no longer service any models older than 2003 - a shame I know especially since (in my opinion) they are one of the limited brands that has a heritage that should be shouted about. Anyway, one man’s loss is another’s gain and that man is Tim Price who is now servicing the older stuff. He is based in Pickering, North Yorkshire, and be contacted on 01751 476815. Thanks Tim.

The Moulton has arrived in the workshop for a strip down and an assessment of the integrity of the frame. I’m not yet sure it’s good enough to save so the project might stop before it really gets started. The plan is to replace all the 1960’s components with new shiny ones. The old stuff is going in the bin, unless a committed collector of all things Moulton wants them?

Feel free to email with any suggestions about which ’shiny bits’ we should consider using. The (very) basic plan is to build new 16″ wheels using a Nexus 8 speed hub with coaster brake on the back, and either a hub brake or Dura Ace calliper on the front. Another option is to braze on some disc mounts. Other than that, we’ll just suck it and see.
