What colours did Araya 7b's originally come in ?

<< < (3/3)

Mattdub:

Blue painted 7B's , subject of a US ebay auction sometime back & said to be OG finish . I've other pics of painted 7B's on bikes too , possibly restored finishes but it kinda points to the fact they were about bitd maybe .





Chrome 7C stylee but steels , I was offered these sometime back but did'nt buy .




My NOS 7B's in black , anno as far as I remember Jon ( they haven't seen the light of day in quite sometime , purchased 06/07 maybe )

hunterdubber:
I had a Falcon, bitd ( Murray gusset style ,Pre Cycle Pro type  ) full of decent branded  parts Takagi 3 piece ,Tioga  etc Comp 2's that included those chrome 7C's ,,

took me right back to 82 when I saw those  ::)  :smitten:

How nice are those NOS black 7b's Matt  :smitten:

Original Araya paper wraps too  :coolsmiley:

Loving the colour on those - most black anodised rims are just that...BLACK - with those they look semi translucent like ano is with other colours - almost gives a "smoke" effect in the pics - I like  8)

The painted rim theory is interesting too - hmmmmmmmmm.........

Cheers Matt  :daumenhoch:

However, 7c's came in chrome as I had a set back in the day  :daumenhoch:

Are you sure they were alloy & chrome Marty ? No reference in any catalogues that I can see from 80 - 84  :-\

Plenty of 7c shaped steel chrome rims though.

I am sure they were alloy; they came with blue ACS hubs but they got stolen with the rest of my bike only a couple of months after I got them.

Redline:
I'll post up some pics of the Red NOS 7B's I just bought from the states if ya like fella.... just waiting for them to land  :daumenhoch:

... oh and they're an anodised red ust to clarify  :daumenhoch:
