Clinchers. I like Araya here also, but cannot recommend a specific model simply because I don't know them.

So where are the pictures of the frame? What is the rest of the build?
Most definitely Clinchers as I plan on riding this alot and don't want to have to deal with glue and such. I also like Araya and used to have Araya Aero's at one time along with some really nice clinchers. The rest of the build is late 80's Suntour Superbe Pro. As for pictures of the frame, I think you've seen them. It's the frame that was just recently on EBAY. I may have paid more than I wanted to, but the frame looks so much better in real life than it did in those pics. Here's the link to the groupset that I'm putting on and the frame pics.
