My 1978 Gios has the same rims (rims are from 1982) with such labels. Although the original owner was a quite successfull amateur racer he wasn't a sponsored pro: http://home.t-online.de/home/dirk.feeken/gios.html I think the version without "S.S.C." in the red box is the older one.

Hello List,

Browsing LeBay this morning, and came across this MAVIC auction from Hilary Stone:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=740927471

Note that the two rims have different red mavic logos. The rim on the bottom has the "S.S.C." lettering inside the red rectangle. I've never seen this before. I heard that MAVIC provided these rims to professionals only for the first few years. Could this be a rim that was not offered sale, and the other version is the type that was?
