Superbe is a name synonymous with the heritage of Raleigh and Nottingham as the original design of this bicycle is over 100 years old. Whilst the modern version has some changes many of the original features and geometry are retained. The early target consumer was the discerning professional gentleman and his dear lady who wanted the very best that the new pursuit of cycling could offer. Literally millions of Superbes were made in Lenton and exported around the world.
