Serial number is essentially meaningless. At best, it tells the year, nothing about the model.

From the serial number your bicycle frame was manufactured in 1983.

1983 Norco models with your format of serial number were: Avanti, Nomad, and Tourister.

Based on your description of the colour and the handle bars (if original), I would guess that you have a Tourister model.
