The profiles of them look ok - would like more info though on what ali they're made from and how they're joined.

there is a bit more info on the RIMS page on their site..

Yeah, but no join or ali type. Sure it'll be good though, it's Araya after all.

Bit weird with the idea of breaking surfaces on an aero rim though - most aero rims nowadays are designed for brakeless.

£189.99 a set, not exactly non bank breaking in price, I can think of a couple of sets of wheels I'd rather ride with lower price tags and not need to feel nostalgic about the branding

At least they aren't cashing in on the os market I suppose

£190, that's probably a bit more than I was expecting.. Hey ho.. They still look hot!

Yeah, without more info - looks like the hubs are made by the Super Cycles Group, that's quite pricey-ish. They look like they mainly do MTB stuff.
