Curious if anyone can help me figure out what this old Norco bike actually is and if it might be worth anything.
Bought it a bit over a year ago and have been riding it to school for the better part of my time owning it and it’s been amazing. I can tell it’s super old, but I cannot find anything about it anywhere on the internet and it’s killing me.
From what I can tell it’s an old Norco Monterey, but there’s no ID that I can find and the only marker for the name is mostly scratched off at this point. The only form of date on the bike is the old shop sticker from when it was sold new dating back to 1974 (not sure if that was just a shop trademark date or what).
It’s super unique and I’m hoping to restore it to continue enjoying it, or maybe sell it to someone who’s got a deeper appreciation for these vintage bikes that can take better care of it as I’m just a student who doesn’t know a ton about them.
It’s got dia compe 500 brakes, and I believe suntour ar gears (presumably all original). The pedals are stamped with “SR SP-360 JAPAN”
Side note- any suggestions on how to improve/restore it are very welcome 🙂
