in the contents of the scan-a-thon i found this jpg from my 1979 brochure. the bicycle has the recessed bolts. i know for sure that they were not recently introduced at press time. my <guess> is 1977. http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/richard_sachs2/rs2.jpg

btw, what i wouldn't give for six of these bikes now! (they'd have to be n.o.s.)
