"Superb Sport" Mystery Bike. What is it?!
I purchased this bike in a yard sale, was told it was an "Italian racing bike" but doesn't look like one to me! Anyway, I am not a bicycle person, so am mainly relying on pictures to provide clues. It is a steel frame bike, 10 speed, mix of Italian parts, "Superb" on center rail and "Superb Sports" with black falcon? logos. No numbers I can see anywhere.
Any help would be much appreciated, no one around here seems to know what it is.

Looks like a typical private label bike from the boom to me. What is unusual is someone has rebuilt this bike from their parts bin, and nothing really matched. Originally as a minimum, the shift levers, front and rear derailleur would all match. I had a seat post just like that one on a 1974 Nishiki International. Crane RD is a nice one,

Hello MrRoboto, Welcome to the forums. Where is the bike now? If it has a sticker from a bike shop in Australia I would think it more likely someone moving from Australia is the reason for the bike being where you are. Any other pics?
