The serial number begins with a B on the frame, but yeah i'd say it was probably put together and sold around '75, but im sure the frame was built as the serial number suggests, 'less im missing something.
Well, I know where you are coming from on the serial number and without further evidence, I'd tend to put around the beginning of the decade. But that head label originated circa 1975-1976, which matches the hub. And the other decals and color match 1973 or later, so I don't know what to say about the serial number, but all the other evidence points to mid 1970s.
