"sorry to dredge up something thats actually old (at least I don't THINK this item dances around the "why-isn't-it-respected-much cutoff date") ...here's a snap of what I think must be an OLD Mavic rim label.

Can anyone date it? Are there any of these rims out there? t.i.a. for any replys!"

Hi Dale, It looks fairly similar to the label on a Mavic rim I picked up in the mid '70's. My label is a red rectangle, but the Mavic logo is in the same diamond shape. The rim is low/mid level, using washers under the nipples. Mine has been used to stretch tires all of these years, so it's in good shape. Don't know where the washers went, tho...
