Hi,
upfront, maybe it's just me, but I do not get an image in your post displayed.

I also don't have an exact date, but to me DP22 haven't been shown till mid to late 90ties.

Rigida had DP18 for RR already early nineties (~92-93), while the first bikes I do recall factory-equipped with DP22 had been in the Centurion line up for 1997 like the Backfire Areo and the Pro (the latter in combination with Formula Disc brakes and hubs):

I do like DP22, despite of the bit to heavy weight (and do love FIR Polar or Gipieme Tecno M416).

I have a polished wheelset with Hügi Hubs, and had an earlier one with black or rather brown-ish DP22.

The brown one came with black LX 563 (front) and 565 (rear) Hubs.

(sold meanwhile, better not question :( https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/lrs...ischer-brauner-variante-cosmic-sunrise.949840)

Just pulling those out to provide another index for dating, from what I do know, the LX565 was just available 1995-6.

I’ve got a set of dp22s that I’m just about to build for my son’s new project. Just waiting on spokes arriving. Sorry I can’t help with a date?

My pair is silver rims built on dame LX hubs so we can conclude that the rims are made not before 95/96.
