I have an 83 Raleigh Olympian sport tourer. Says Raleigh North America, but then below says it's actually made in Taiwan. Serial confirms Taiwan.



Paint job around the lugs is not the cleanest, lug angle stampings still show, and rear chainstays are welded to the frame in a truly terrible fashion. Yes it does say Raleigh 502, but like the others said, these stickers were trying to upsell cheaper frames as Reynolds 531. Mine turned out to be: hi-ten stays and fork with double-butted (or was it single-butted?) vanilla 4130 chro-mo main tubes. Still lighter than my '77 Raleigh Grand Prix...

Touring 18 was in the 1983 catalogue also.
Alyeska was in the 1984 if I am correct.

Both were made by Huffy, who owned Raleigh at the time, if I am not mistaken.
