Doug- I have a pair of 1980ish ARAYA wheels with skewers and shod with Continetal 27 X 1 1/8" tires. I forget the actual tire name but I think it's one of the touring models. The rear wheel is threaded for a freewheel gearset and spaced for 128mm. Drop me a line if you're interested. Thom Jakowczyk Chatsworth, Ca. (Los Angeles area).
