From what little I did find I think its one step up from the Olympian ? Not a lot of info out there
FWIW, the "Olympian" moniker got tossed around liberally by the various Raleigh entities of the 1980s. The one I had (a 1985 555-tubed model) was decidedly the very bottom rung of the ladder. I've never heard of a "SuperCourse" Technium; is the one you're looking at labeled as such? There seems to be a zillion flavors of Technium in in the late 80s and early 90s.
