For Sale: Emperor Sport 54 cm Steel frame

Posted on
  • Having a big clear out - my parts box and frames have become too big for our 1 bed flat - I've been told that some must go!

    Emperor Sport frame - from the serial number I'd guess 1978. Probably a TT bike, the clearances are still pretty tight despite 700c wheels. There is no frame material sticker but given weight it is most likely 531c or even Ishiwata 019 which Mick Coward was known to use. Emperor supplied bikes to Sean Yates back in the day and the detail and craftsmanship of this frame is evident.

    126mm rear spacing

    Good Bits:
    A lack of braze-ons make it a good candidate for conversion.
    Heart cut out lugs
    Campagnolo professional drop outs with position screws
    Zeus2000 fork crown and lovely fork blades with campag dropouts

    Bad bits:
    The paint job basically. The paint is pretty much falling off. The good news is that all the steel underneath is shiny and corrosion free.

    Asking £60

  • ^I was going to ask the same, but beaten to it. From the pics, I'd guess at 54 square. But my eyes are going!
