HI Roger & welcome.
IIRC the Record Sprint was out around the mid 80s, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon to give more info :laugh:

Hi Roger, I'd say slightly earlier than that, early 80s. Chap up the road has one, black with gold decals?
Rode nicely IIRC.

Hello Roger and Welcome to the CC forums. :sad:

I had a Raliegh Europa and always wanted a 501 Record in the 80's - it looked a bit less "boy racerish." B)
