I had some a couple of years ago Steve  and did some searching and thought they were circa 1985


I think it was an Araya catalogue 

Old magazines are the favorite source 

Haven't noticed them in my magazines from 83/84 

Need to find an some Araya adverts

Greg Hill had them in '84.

Yeah, it looks like a decent site, bit tricky to navigate but there's more rim catalogues here:

83/84, great looking rims

All the style of a 7b but with the added bonus of a full size braking surface (unlike the 7b that's only really any good for coaster brake applications)

got them on my Black Changa

When I thought this ,,,I was corrected on here  ,, that he was actually  riding7B's    

So far  it's 1984 any advance on earlier

They're the NOS 7L rims i sold Steve, like he said, they were beautiful before that fateful London ride.  
Changa looks wicked Stevie.
