'73 is quite an important year, come to think of it. First year of the italicized Raleigh/Rampar decal set - what would become the last classic Raleigh decal set to make it to the US - first year for the self-adjusting brakes (ok, an important blunder), and - if I am not mistaken - the first year for brake cable braze-ons on the Raleigh Sports.
