repop rims
jonnydiezel:
Its nothing to do with Araya Japan I think its just an European market only thing
The home page gives those details and a bit more
When my uncle first told me he was doing this I had visions of nice 7x repops coming my way :-)
But he has taken it in a different direction, the only old school-ish rim is the aero but very different to the original (no dimples, double walled)

Araya doesn't have a UK branch and these people have nothing to do with Araya no matter what anyone else may tell you. They justify it by saying that Araya is not in the UK so therefore we can steal the name, make some slight adjustments to the logo and make copies of real Araya products.

Well thats shit then ... I'm sorry to hear that and for promoting it.
I was told that they were the real deal and that RnR bikes had the exclusive deal on them :-[

So this site and these rims have nothing to do with the real Araya company?

there's the 'pro class' too
here I was thinking they were the same company, doing modern 're-interpretations' of OS products
if that's not true and someone's cashing in on the name/logo then that's some next-level fookery
