The Gloria is a much heavier, cruising ride in comparison to the Super, but still very plush. This is a sports bike rather than an out-an-out racer. I have a 50s Gloria Garibaldina (4 speed) that has a more competitive geometry and this feels more similar to the Super. One of the difficulties with vintage rides is the lack of brake response compared to modern rides. The later the bike, the more confidence inspiring they are to ride.
C59 traditional geometry 54cm with SR & Excellight rims.
Someone at work had left out a picture frame, so popped the bike in front for a quick snap.
