Aaron, you are obviously right there about the specs.
But the Superbes do look better, and lighter, without the full chain-case.

Mine is coming OFF when I can get the cotter-pin out.
(The threaded portion bent and broke off while I was trying to remove it!!)
I also removed the (rusty) steel mudguards and replaced them with black SKS plastics.
When I weighed the removed items they were 1Kg!

Still it will be OK when I've done the work.
I'm just side-tracked at the moment with a newly collected 1930/32 Swift.
Can't find much anywhere about it yet!
