Your bike is older looking than I was expecting.

if I'm wrong, the other possibility is that it could be a 1981 frame... I cant remember what order the date year and month were stamped on the norcos...

some of the parts you have appear to be newer than the bike. Those Tange TX-1200 Champion forks could be as old as the bike or they might be a few years newer. The date is clearly stamped on them. You will have to remove them and look on the steer-tube for the word "Tange followed by a number and a letter". The number is the year code and the letter is the month code. It might help date the bike a little bit better.

What are your plans with the bike?
