1969 Superbe
A fairly new to me Superbe. I went though the bicycle overhauled rear hub. New chain, 17t rear cog, tires & tubes, rim strips, brake pads & cable wires. Plus a good clean up good enough for me. Now she is riding nice. I almost forgot how nice riding these vintage 3 speeds can be.

Sweet! I had a '63 Superbe and loved it until the crankarm snapped while I was climbing a hill. Then I left it unlocked for three months in front of my apartment building and it got stole

The lights & dynamo work. However I pulled the bulbs out of the lights for another Superbe.

Nice! I picked up the twin to yours last year. The original owner backed into it in his garage and bent the down tube beyond repair. I stripped it for parts and scrapped the frame. That makes your bike, one bike closer to rare.
