In the 1979 and 1981 catalogues we have the following anodized tubular rims:

Argent 10: 310 grams Or 10: 310 grams Argent 7: 260 grams Or 7: 260 grams CX 18: 300 grams GP4: 395 grams Bleu SSC: 395 grams Argent 12 SSC: 395 grams Grise SSC: 400 grams

Although some are 'hard' anodized they've not got them separated out yet, just listed with the other clear and gold anodized rimes as well.
