serial number = age for Fuji?

you heard that right. It is a brand new, out of the box, 10
speed bike.

I'm curious as to when it was actually made. The serial
number is F8L01368, but I don't know the Fuji code. (There's
a bunch of other serial number age information at Menotony,
oldroads.comindex.htmlOpen ↗ but no Fuji.)

The derailleur is Shimano SIS, and it's made in Taiwan, so I
know it's not ancient.

Mike I can give you a close estimate on the age of your fuji arcadia probably
about 1990 I think thats when I bought mine. I would like to get the
specs on that bike if you have them.
