The ad describes it as such. Big, it's a 63, but purportedly is built up with old Dura Ace components. The one pix makes it difficult to confirm anything, however. Obviously, I know the rims, but didn't know they also made frames--so I thought I'd put this purportedly Japanese-made bike out there to the bike gurus (noting the recent discussion of another Japanese frame builder).

Text of ad:
It's an Araya, manufactured by the same company that is famous for their
rims.
>From what I've been able to find out, they only imported these in the 70's
and the 80's.
If I measured it correctly it's a 63cm frame (for the TALL rider),
12 speed with Dura Ace components, Araya rims (of course)
and it has a sticker on the seat post down tube that says:
"Champion #1" Chrome Moly Frame
Being sold in the condition that it was found in. All it needs is new tires and wraps and she's good to go!
$200
No relation, just putting it out there.
