ARAYA

JAPAN
There is also a small“M” stampon the rim as shown in the photos. I am not sure what this marking represents.
ITEM DETAILS:
- Vintage ARAYA bicycle rim
- 20 x 1.75 size
- 36 spoke holes
- Made in Japan
- NOS / New Old Stock
- Silver finish
- 14-gauge spokes should be appropriate; correct spoke length will depend on the hub and lacing pattern
IMPORTANT CONDITION INFORMATION:
These rims originally came to me ascomplete NOS wheels that had never been installed or ridden on a bicycle.I removed the original spokes and hubs and am now selling the rims separately.
Because the rims were previously laced with spokes,there may be marks, impressions, scratches, or other signs around the spoke holes from the original spoke nipples.This does not mean the rim was ridden or used on a bicycle.
The rims are still being sold asNOS / New Old Stock, but they are vintage items that have been stored for many years. They may also have scratches, scuffs, small marks, discoloration, or other cosmetic shelf/storage wear from age, handling, and storage.
