The original Araya Aero 2 rims look like this:

They seem strong, but have a wavy scallop like pattern near the brake track. Is this due to overtight spokes, weakness of this particular rim, or normal?
I noticed this little “M” stamp on the bottom bracket cable guide. Wondered if this is for “Miyata”?
lastly, mine has same tubing sticker.
Dig the stock cable routing

I don't think mine is an 84 for the simple fact the it has Dia Comp brakes as opposed to dura Ace listed in the 84 catalog. Can't be sure because no one can find an 83 catalog
