Also back in 1982 I bought an Araya Aero which cost about $1200 it featured ovaled tubing and Shinmano Durace AX components which was state of the art back in the day..I later put a set of Araya Anodized Aero wheels so that it would support my weight (clinchers so I could fix a tire when it went flat on the road). I rode this bike for quite awhile. It always told me..... go faster TABS...(This bike even has the original Aero water bottle, 14 speeds, I have kept the original lite weight wheels (sew ups) and have an extra set of AX pedals).

I would consider selling both, as the likelyhood of me riding again is about nil.



Damn Tabs, I didn't know people actually buy AX stuff. I had a AX booklet with that exact same bike on it. It was a "Shimano" frame asme color as yours. I am sure they did not built the frame. could not affort Campy back then.
