The Vade Mecum Superb model was introduced in the 1964 catalog, but was not popular. Only six or so were made. This one was built for Tubby Whybrow of the National Clarion CC as a curly road frame. It was crashed in a race sometime in the 1970s. It was rebuilt by Cyril Munday of Peterborough as a straight track bike; the triangle and fork blades are not original. However, the main tubes, lugs, and fork crown have been preserved. It is set up as a single gear machine with Campag Pista equipment, 165mm crank arms. The date of this one is unknown.
