i know araya did the super 7x but trying to find 36 spoke ones with good chrome is hard, plus im on a limited budget unless i can do trades

will check out cyclesports site

i know peregrine did 36's but the chance of finding some and at a resonable price is unlikely!!

oddy t1000s is what ya want, just so happens these could be for sale  ::) they have been used since these pics taken so have more brake rub on rear, but no rub on the flames, sealed 36 valasium (sp) hubs, run true but could do with spokes tightening, freewheel included £75 posted

 The chrome on the Rb17's is excellent...

 They're really light too and can hold up to 2.125 tyres.. :daumenhoch:

Your better off phoning Cyclesport and asking for Dan he knows exactly what's tucked away in the warehouse. Better still visit the place it's a Mid-School goldmine. Tons of Mid-School bits that are not on their Website.

Keep doin' it. L

The Araya RB-17's are great rims and they are still very cheap. I bought 5 sets here in the states a couple of months ago for 115.00 USD shipped. The Peregrine 36h rims are still relatively cheap, hard to find though, the last set I saw went for 95.00 USD.
