Tefore:

kdog:
Thanks,
The serial number is on the underside of the btm bracket. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow.

I would say that is more than likely a Pacer 500 F&F and suspect the serial number will be under the bottom bracket starting with an F, though a couple of the items are as per the marketing brochure. :daumenhoch:
Look on the inside of the rear drop-outs, it may say Cr-Mo. Though I have seen original Pacers stamped as 500 or Cr-Mo.
My understanding is that the Super Vipers were manufactured for the US market, had chainguard tabs on the bottom bracket and above the chainstay due to regulation. You'll also see these on US model standard Vipers.
Both the Pacer and Super Viper look to be the same frame, with the Super Viper probably being rebadged just to get rid of the looptail remnents.
I'm sure there's enough people on here that can chip in with information to provide a near accurate outcome. :)

Just charging the camera at the moment, the serial number does start with a F and it does have CRMO stamped inside the rear dropouts :daumenhoch:

If this turns out to be a pacer 500 does anyone have, or know where to get a photo of an original?
Cheers all :daumenhoch:
