I remember my friend having Michelin Elans and (I think) Rigida or Mavic rims when I started riding in early 1976. The Elans were horrible (wouldn't always stay on rims). Anyone else remember seeing this stuff before '76?

-------------------- (from old posting):

The Mavic Module E (410 g, 19.8mm) is single eyelet and the Mavic Module E2 (430 g, 19.8mm) is double eyelet. Available in polished silver or anodized silver.

The G 40 (430 g, 19.8mm) is listed in the 1981 catalog, so I'd say it was available in 1982. Only available in grey anodize; likely the "G" stands for "grey."

The MA 40 (430 g, 20.5mm) is listed in the 1986 catalog. More square section than the previous Mod. E, Mod. E2 and G 40; anthracite grey _hard_ anodized (thicker than normal anodize process) and too new for the Classicrendezvous list.
