Heres some pics of my Yellow Araya bike...I am trying to speak with an Araya Rex Critieum bike owner from the PA that has more knowledge of the bikes. He is the original owner.

From what I can tell...there are not many around. Rare?? Maybe?? Specifically from a numbers stand point. worth alot? I don't know about that. But I couldn't pass this one up for $51.00 on ebay. I will put new tubes in it tomorrow and take it for a spin.

Dia Compe, Suntour, Araya frame and wheels and lugs (Nervex???) out the wazoo. I think they made a nice product from looking at other brands. I am guessing 76'ish but the other guys bike is almost just like mine (lug and frame wise and he said his is a 73'. I also am going off of parts on it. Any help would be appreciated! I know there is little info on this brand. Follow the link: (Sorry...Pics are lacking)
