All the Nora cup is, is a sticker on the frame. There are no differences to the frames at all.

It comes from GT winning the Nora cup for best team at end of 82 I think and all 83 frames had the decal on the seat tube.

Nora Cup frames were early, circa 81,82 and some 83 with a straight cut top tube not stamped on the end and Pro size denoted 4. After that they have a slanted cut top tube and stampted GT 4130 may still be Pro but not a Nora Cup

GT won the Nora Cup Bicycle title in 1982 and 1983. The voting is undertaken towards the end of the year in question and the results published early spring the following year. As such it would only have been 1983 frames onwards that would have featured the Nora Cup decal.

Yep I think GT used Nora Cup stickies from Jan or Feb 83 to the autumn of 84. May be wrong on that though. And the slanted end to the punched-through toptube came in in early 85 didn't it?
