Hi Craig, Not to be critical, but I had bad luck with those hubs. Back in college, mid-80s, little money, more miles in a week than in a month now, I bought a few of those hubsets. They were dirt cheap Campagnolo copies, but they are the only hubs I've ever owned where I broke axles, and even one of the flanges failed. Even properly adjusted and lubed, the cones pitted after about a thousand miles. I think they were marketed by Cycle Pro at the time. ST Cyclone was wonderful compared to my experience with Miche. Also, I think 1982 was the first year for Cannondales and they only made one model, not equipped as in your description, so yours was/is circa 1983 or later. Hope this helps, but I am really posting to make e-Richie happy. <wink>

Wishing you better luck than I had,
