The same years Newest shows a seat tube water bottle, but with tube clamp mounts. My 1980 Fuji Newest only has downtube braze-on screw mounts.
I noticed that as well. But the Ace was a new model that year; so there was a new picture for the catalog. The other bikes in the catalog had been in the previous years' catalogs and they hadn't changed the pictures. The actual bikes may have had them in '73. But my 1972 Finest doesn't have them.
