Ukai rims and Sansin hubs were nice. The Fuji Professional came with foam filled Ukai sewup rims and drilled out derailleurs and chainrings and was quite nicely lugged.

Yup, things have changed!
Yeah - Raleigh's gone back to a lot of those old model names as well. Dang near cried when I saw what passes for a Super Course now.
I should have a report on how those old plastic-filled Ukai tubular rims with Sansin hubs ride in another week or two. They aren't the lightest, but I've heard they are as sturdy as rims came.
