I have a 1970 or 1971 at the latest. It has one club cutout on the lower head lug, 2 holes in each point of the fork crown, brazed on cable guides, rear der. cable stop and w/b bosses, club cutout in BB, Ser.#12 with chrome fork crown with clubs on top. This was purchased at the New York show in 1971 at the latest. Mike K had one, Ser.#14 that was virtually the same as mine. Steve
