From what I know, 1983 GT mini/Jr. Nora Cup. I just had a few questions if anyone could help.
Was there only one size of this mini? Or was there a mini and a junior (the dropout is stamped "JR") Is the bottom bracket a Euro or American? Can anyone tell me anything about this bike and if I got a deal at $250 shipped? It has Tioga Comp III tires, Uni mini seat, Araya rims, Powerlite bars, DK stem and DK seatpost clamp. I bought it for my 7 (soon to be 8) year old but he's on the shorter side. What size cranks would be best? Sorry for all the questions, but I am more of a freestyle guy...but I couldn't pass this bike up!!

Oh yeah....Almost forgot. It has old school Rebel Forks. They aren't the original GT forks.

Its a euro BB.

GT made a mini, Junior/standard and then the pro.

Crank size, probably 145's- 160's.

Cool little bike! The BB is euro so most (old school through modern) spindle/BB sets will fit. For your benefit, you'll probably want to go with the Shimano sealed BB/spindle combo as they are simple and you do not need to mess with them once you install them. If he is on the short side, you might want 140-150mm cranks for him.
