Check de logo's en inscripties van deze velgen maar eens en vergelijk ze met een set originele 2RU velgen.

Het is sowieso geen DID maar Araya.
DID zijn de oude modellen (tot 1976 denk ik, maar kan ook nog tot iets later zijn).

JAPANESE RIM MAKERS

There are two note worthy rim makers in Japan, Araya and Ukai. They are note worthy because each of them has had their rims sold as original equipment on new bicycles and at one point both had their rims sold in the US as after market replacement parts. Both are well known for excellent quality and workmanship, however, at the moment, only Araya seems to have rims available in the US for after market replacements.

Ukai's participation in the United States parts distribution system dropped off beginning in the fall of 1987, after the G7 meeting drove the value of the dollar down and Japanese goods edged their way toward double the Yen price. Ukai is reported to have been the maker of the Specialized and also made the Ritchey rims that are sold on new bikes as original equipment. The Ukai manufactured Ritchey rims can be identified bt their welded rather than sleeved joint
