1998 Rodriguez rear dropout spacing?

Does anyone out there know what rear dropout spacing Rodriguez was using on their 25th Anniversary tandems in 1998?

I have a Cannondale from about 1999 and its 140mm. I know that by the early 2000's they had moved up to 145. When did Rodriguez make the move to wider rear spacing, or were they always up at 145?

From the little research I have done, and talking to Rodriguez, this appears to have been a transition period .I know that the top models were getting 145mm Phil Wood cassette hubs. Several of the less expensive models got freewheel hubs, but the catalogue does not specidy them as being 145mm OLD. My guess is, that all models were probably 145 OLD by 1998.
