Midlife Retro Wizard Aug 23, 2014 #12 That serial is likely indeed 1982, third digit is the year of manufacture and since Raleigh introduced the numbering system in 1973 it cannot be 1972. Europa's had mudguard eyes and pressed dropouts though....... here's the 1974 Europa, not sure they were making them in 1982 Shaun
