Hey gang!

Does anyone out there recall what year the Mavic Module E was introduced? As I recall, it was the first narrow clincher rim, and Mavic worked with Michelin so the rim was out about the same time as the Elan tires. What year was that? And do I have that straight?

And what about the Araya 20A? I have a '78 Centurion Pro that I'm pretty sure didn't originally have the Module Es it had when I bought it, but I don't know if Araya had the 20A out by then, or what else it might have had. And info on old Centurions can be hard to come by.

Thanks!
