I think it's mighty nice of the Italians to use an English word like "super" to describe their bikes and stuff.

Yep. Let's not forget everything "Laser" in the 70s, and "Digital" or "Digital Ready" in the 90s, though I don't think the latter spread to bicycles. Wait, what about the late 90s to early aughts? Was there an iBike?
