Superia 1973
HISTORY
Superia was founded by Remi Claeys. He was one of four brothers who since 1926 produced Flandria bikes. After some differing opinions made it difficult for Remi to move on together with his brethren, he started a separate business in the early 1950s, the Remi Claeys NV/SA. It stayed a family business until 1979 when it changed ownership for the first time.
Superia were famously Sponsors of the Solo team, the mid-60's version of Rik van Looy's "Red Guard." Solo was also Eddy Merckx's first pro team. The Champions Rik van Steenbergen and Patrick Sercu, too were among those who raced for Solo Superia.
