Decals remain unchanged from the 1973 and 1974 model years.

Two fittings differ from 1974 models:
First is the the Sturmey-Archer trigger shifter, which gained a black plastic and brushed-aluminum (stick-on) faceplate, and plastic sleeve on the thumb lever. This trigger remained standard until 1982, and also remained the default Sturmey-Archer 3-speed trigger design until Sturmey-Archer's logo revision in 1982/3. Secondly, the reflectors on the Union-made Raleigh rubberblock pedals gained a half inch in additional width to 2 1/4" (from 1-3/4"); possibly to comply with revised CPSC requirements.
