Survivor pro class rims

[oldschoolace]

Eh up lads, dont do spokes as a rule but have found these going cheap. They are pro class aren't they?



whats the going rate for a set of these at the mo and does anyone recognise the hub? 

[rodriguez]

That's a 2nd gen blue and green label comp 3, if the other one too and they are both in pretty decent nick they could be worth a few quid on their own.

Well spotted Paul

Sorry for asking a daft question...

but are there different types of Pro Class Rims

Is CMC the same

I'm after a set which would have been on a Racing AP - 1984/1985...

Thanks...

Yes mate.

You have:-

CNC drilled steel chromed rims,

Drilled alloy chromed rims,

Drilled alloy polished rims,

Drilled alloy hard anodised rims

Non drilled hard anodised rims

There may be more but these I know of 

[oldschoolace]

Care to take a stab at what these may be Terry me old mucker? 

[CustardLips]

Clint, Is there an Araya stamp underneath one of the holes either side of the innertube valve ? If so they're drilled Araya's.  If not they could be pro class or drilled araya copies. 
I think.   

[oldschoolace]

Don't know mate that pic is all I have at the mo. Going to try and get them regardless as they are only £20 

Never easy dealing with provincial types though, especially foreign ones wondering why a mad English guy wants to import some old wheels 

[Gnarlyscoots]

I am guessing at these Clint but, I would say they are '84 - '85 Pro Class rims off a Cali Goose. The rims will be factory drilled unstamped Araya rims and the hubs will be SR/Suzue looseball hubs   

[CustardLips]

Whatever they are they're worth £20. 

[Gnarlyscoots]

Depends if he charges £150 to ship them here

Is this a Raleigh Aero Pro we're talking about?

If so Araya Aeros would have come as standard I doubt you'd have swapped them for CMC pro class as they were the steel ones 

[chubby]

I only said that I fancy some spokes clint, nice of you to go to all this trouble for me though 

[oldschoolace]

Thought it best before you started mucking around with mags again. There are only so many sea birds in the world Richard

Wheels on that bike look like polished alloy.

I reckon the actual ones on Andy Ruffell's bike BITD would have been just plain alloy, if you PM Beard1973 on here he might be able to tell you what they were as he know's a bit about Andy Ruffell.

I think that's Jimmyp's Ruffell replica, he's on Raleighburner.com PM him too.
