JOBO SUPERIA 1978 - cycling figurine

The JOBO SUPERIA 1978 figurine is part of Le Petit Cycliste's zamak collection — a piece that captures the jersey worn in the professional peloton throughout the 1978 season, preserved in miniature for collectors who know their cycling history.

Cast in zamak — a zinc alloy prized for its precision and fine detail — then hand-painted in our Roubaix workshop, each figurine is made to order in small batches. This artisanal process ensures a faithful reproduction of every jersey detail and an impeccable finish, in the tradition of miniature cycling figurines that have built this house's reputation.

The 1978 season: a landmark year in the peloton
The 1978 season holds a special place in cycling history. That year's Tour de France was a genuine turning point: Bernard Hinault claimed his first overall victory, announcing a new era for French cycling. In a packed peloton dominated by powerful Belgian, Dutch and French squads, teams battled from the spring classics to the grand tours — from cobbled monuments to alpine summit finishes. An intense season, emblematic of professional road racing at its very peak.
