I believe the yellow head decal was for one year only in 1975. I have a 1975 Super with a known ownership history and original panto parts but the bike has been repainted. The original saddle, bars and stem had been replaced some time in the past. If you want to compare it with the EBay bike, check it out in my Wool Jersey album here:
