Serial number really doesn't matter. If you want to verify the age, just look up the component codes. Every manufacturer had their own numbering system, and most of them changed their own numbering method many, many times over the years.

OK, just a total wild guess: 36th bike of December 1982. Letter code is often the month, a lot of manufacturers skip the letter "I" to prevent confusion with the number 1. But I really have no idea.

Great deal on a really nice bike, in a desirable small size. Well done!
