Glen’s 1973 Araya

Posted

Glen in Kansas City sent in this 1973 Araya.  Yes, this is the same Araya of wheel fame.   This baby has it all:  foam grips, safety levers, quilted racing saddle, spoon handle shifters, center-pulls, chrome fork blades, and of course a proper chrome pie plate.

My neighbor was cleaning his garage, and asked me if I wanted some old bikes.
Of course! This is one of them.
It has a Suntour V GT Luxe rear, and Compe V front derailleur. All I have done so far clean the dust and spider webs off. Tires are getting dry, but tubes hold air, and rides fine!

Thanks Glen

    I have one too in red with bar-con shifters (bar end) New tires and tubes, a new seat (old one split), and a tape job on the handlebars and it is road ready again. I even have my original Cannondale handlebar bag and the elastic stay straps are like new. My generator powered headlight broke but the taillight and generator all work fine. Email me for a pic of it. airshotsphotoco@aol.com
