Around mid-'70s was when top tube pump locations became popular and headtube braze-on pump pegs started appearing.. Before that it was seat tube if the bike had a DT cage boss and DT if it didn't. I raced a 1976 Fuji Pro with just DT bosses. Clamped on a ST cage and used a pump peg on the top tube.

I see, so meaning this frame that I have belongs to the early 70’s era of frames. Good to know that. Thanks for the inputs!
