Hi guys and gals! I'm keeping an eye out for either Araya or Ukai 700c rims or whole wheels, 36 spoke, 20mm or less in outside width. Either good used or NOS, not interested in any with flat spots. Those darned things are hard to find!

Story: I found a beautiful used set on eBay last week, gold anodized Araya with Shimano 600 hubs. It started out as a BUy IT Now at $85.00, but when I went back to it a few minutes later to but it, someone had made a starting bid on it. As it turned out, the set sold for $152.00. I was sick to my stomach for not buying it sooner. The would have looked sweet on my Nishiki or my Fuji.
