the bike and frame are 75,the swing arm is for drum brake, all drum brake swing arms are round, disc are square. Although you can put disc on a round swing arm, just have to be creative with spacing and brackets. i had a disc on mine then changed it to drum, i like the openess of the wheel with drum. But the year of the swing arm is 72 down to what ever year was the first swing arm framewas, ( dont remember what year off hand)
