AND Brian, I had a '73 Electric blue. IIRC, it did have shifter braze-ons and one set DT water bottle bosses. It was not marked "super". That bike was wrecked and I don't have it any more (except the fork) and its possible my memory is not accurate, but for what its worth...... Wish I still had that bike!
