I agree that this was a great find. The one real question I have pertains to the upper of the 2 rear brake bridges. I think this is the 3rd Superior I've seen. (Well I've seen one "in person" and now 2 in photos) Each had a different treatment for the rear brake bridge.
One had a more normal looking single brake bridge, although
that one seems to have an additional piece brazed onto the
actual brake bridge tube. And, if I recall correctly, one had
no provisions for any rear brake whatsoever. Which is the
original style? Or can it be that there were multiple types
available at different times?
