Super Champion Arc en Ciel rims
Quick question. Did the Arc en Ciel rims have dimples on the braking surface? These would be early ‘70’s vintage.
Thanks,
Kurt

Mine don't have dimples, but I suspect they are later than "early '70's vintage".

I have two wheel sets with Arc en Ciel rims; one from the early 70s, the other from the early 80s. None of the rims have any dimpling or texturing on the braking surfaces.
