The Pace is actually made in the UK. It's fillet brazed, that Genesis is TIG welded. Presumably XCman either hasn't seen one or the other frame or is visually impaired

Whether it's worth the money is for the holder of the money to decide, though.

I suspect it's mainly an attempt to appeal to the rider of longer standing, a bit of a piggyback on the retro thing. As John says, it's hard to find any particular functional reason for it. It sure is purty-looking, though. Saracen's going to have a couple of fillet-brazed bikes in its range next year, too, although I've only got fuzzy phone pics of them (http://www.twitpic.com/kqxf3).

Try this...
