The Super 68's were considered a top sidepull in the early 70's just before the debut of the Campy sidepulls. My early 70's Windsor Pro came with Super 68's which I replaced and wish I hadn't. I think more than anything, the Campy sidepulls, soon followed by their excellent Japanese clones, made the styling of the Super 68's, most notably the QR mechanism, look old fashioned. I've never been able to tell the difference between Super 68 and Extra either.
