Mavic made an experimental one in 1973, and of course there was a sheetmetal disc and trispoke in the 1890's. I wouldn't be too surprised by a one off or very short run sort of wheel around 1982 or 1983. If I remember right, there was a rule change in 1983-4 that made them race legal.

Ken:
I am seriously in doubt that there were disc wheels on of before 1983 that were available to the public... But I could be wrong (No wisecracks please out there) Or these could be some on-offs...
So, someone with a better memory or more real knowledge fill us all in please...
