Pinning down the year on Raleighs of the era is often a challenge. I suspect every "rule" like "this year's had that" got broken. I've seen photos of Competitions of my year ('73) with different lugs, fork crown and dropouts. Now it could be that I am wrong about mine being a '73 or likewise, theirs. What I ado know is that the boring repetitiveness of the Japanese bikes was far, far from what bike shops got when they opened a Raleigh box. (I spent a year assembling Fujis and Centurians, then the next doing Motobecanes mostly and a few Raleighs. Different worlds; the Japanese and the Europeans.)
