Title: HELP WHICH WHEELS TO CHOOSE
Post by: hunterdubber on March 17, 2010, 11:28 PM: 1983 Hutch wants building up
I've decided not to use my 7X with it
and originally wanted to put Araya ADX on (Aero's)
but I also have some lovely Araya 7L's

What would you choose out of the Aero's or 7L's

I still think ADX because they're 82 made , but the 7l's are rarer and look just as nice :-\

Post by: etriedes on March 18, 2010, 12:00 AM: 7L's mate

Post by: hunterdubber on March 18, 2010, 07:29 AM: I believe Araya 7l's came stock on Cycle Pro GHP greg Hill signature editions in 1984

which I suppose is era correct

as opposed to Museum it says Araya 7L rims poss 85 which would be too late in IMO :)

Post by: Glynnyboy on March 19, 2010, 03:14 PM: You said you thought the 7L's were too late. If the L's are correct go with them for sure but if they aren't and you have the option of going era correct i would. :coolsmiley:
