Located a 1976 Superior...

I could not walk away from this 26" Red frame -

Badge date code = 0346, serial number EK801008

The frame, paint and decals all appear to be in good shape.
The front forks may have been replaced or repaired, as I found paint on the crown, and underneath indicating some touch up was done. The forks match, but missing the band decal at chrome tip junction.


The front brake lever is broken and will require replacing -

I have not had much experience (none) with 3 piece cranks, (Nervar), can I find the crank end cover, missing right side -

The bar tape will require replacement, this was BLACK originally correct?

Huret down tube shifters will require some getting use to, as I have used stem mount for a long time.

Decals are good -




Also, hoods are a little rough and the pedals (Atom 440) as well, have not examined these close up as of yet

Noticed the rear drop out is marked Huret. a friend pointed out that his Super sport had these dropouts, used for 74 built frames?

Was disappointed in the seat, appears original. I did not think Brooks B15 were applied to this model, or was it?

Thanks for reviewing.
