Yep correct, the old Araya 7C's made from 1979 onwards
The sidewalls have been lightly sanded back and polished
For an original set the colour is still vibrant for 30+ years,
the sunshine hubs have slightly faded over time thou....
I also have some 7X rim set too, both in red and gold
just respoking a couple sets at the mo for some more Healing rides
