Title: Araya shinysides - Did they exist?
Post by: Rooonga on October 20, 2007, 08:38 AM

Hi guys n gals.

I just thought I'd ask whether Araya actually made a shiny side rim, as I really don't remember ever seeing them back in the 80's. (Other than brake rub areas cleaned up to look better.)

I know that Ukai definitely made them, but I'm sure Araya never did.

Anyone know for sure??

Tell me if I'm wrong.

TA!

They did Paul, I run a set on my powerlite. They are not shiny like Ukais, more like non-anodized  :daumenhoch:

i have a set of araya 7c's that are ano blue with non ano sides. as far as i can tell they are original as they still have ACS hubs dated 1980 laced to them. i am not 100% certain though, as my only 1980 BMXA magazine does not reveal anything  :-\
