  • Not sure about the worlds nicest award. But the rims I most lust for, are the Tune Schwarzbrenner 42mm clincher. For me the weight, aero properties, stiffness, and strength, are perfectly balanced. You also get good braking performance and the conveniance of clinchers. Laced with some striaght pull CX-rays, to a Mig45/Mag150 combo, would be pure pron.

  • Ok, but then we get back to the discussion about the definition of porn: I'd say it's all about aesthetics, heritage and classy-ness. Function as well, but that's a matter of course.

    On that basis, I'm with Jaygee.

  • An ARAYA Super Aero, hard-anodized:

    apparently this was a one-off sample and the only one in the world.

    It's a shame, why isn't this classic, marvellous rim being produced these days? It would more than certainly sell.

    I've already been offered one, no that one I guess...
    So there's more than 1 ;)

    Far from being a one-off. I've been offered again this as a SET .

    (Machined mind^)

  • those don't look like normal SA's, don't you think? (visible 'edge' between brake surface and rim)

    how much would they be?

  • those don't look like normal SA's, don't you think? (visible 'edge' between brake surface and rim)
    how much would they be?

    (Machined mind^)

    Err................yes, I do think.
    Jesus Cristo.. Anyway. They're called SA-300 just to be really precise and not to disappoint.
    For you, 500 dorrah.

  • 500 dorrah.

    Okay, how much are they really?

  • 100 pair

  • ok, hmm hm. you mentioned that you have been offered black SA's before - back then, did they have that edge as well?

  • Yep, same ones.

  • 'Normal' SAs are not machined. So if you're planing it for the track, fine. For the tarck, not fine.

    well, so that means you actually have never seen another non-machined black SA but the single one in my link?

    so it's still possible that this was a one-off

  • The non-machined, a one-off?
    Possibly, but I wouldn't bet on it.
    I honestly didn't think of it like that, I knew it was the machined one.

  • Anyway - if you ever come across a pair of black anodized non-machined 700c SA clinchers, please let me know, I'd be very grateful.

  • just for everyone's information: the black non-machined araya super aero has been confirmed to be a one-off which is not for sale.

    araya guys, if you ever read this, bring it back to the market. you won't be disappointed.
