For Sale: 1976 Emperor TT Bike - Stunning & Original

Very unique original 1976 Emperor TT Bike with Full Campagnolo Nuovo Record - 58cm

I have had this for a couple of months now and as much as it is lovely eye candy for the living room it has not been ridden by me, nor the original owner either, which is a great shame.

This is in original condition and is a very rare bike indeed. The frame is believed to be Ishiwata 017 tubing although I can't confirm this but this bike is very very light. The forks are the originally fitted Zeus 2000 and look great.

It is dripping with super shiny Nuovo Record that if I was chasing £££s I would part out but I simply want this bike to stay as one.

It runs Campagnolo 'Pista' cranks, Campagnolo pedals (with Christophe toe clips), Campagnolo 42t chain ring and Campagnolo bottom bracket. Campagnolo Nuovo Record Derailleur. Wheels are Campagnolo Record large flange hubs, with campag skewers and Super Champion Competition rims and are in great condition. Tyres have perished but brand new Vittoria Rally tyres will be supplied with tub glue too.

Apart from a small scratch on the top tube, some longer (but not deep) scratches on one of the seat stays and a very small amount of missing 'Emperor' decals. The Cinelli bars and oval logo stem house the Campagnolo levers have original gum hoods in good condition that are linked to the lovely Campagnolo calipers and with original Campag pads. Black leather Cinelli Unicantor saddle sits on the nuovo record seat post.

I am based 40mins south of London but I am willing to arrange a meet/deliver this bike within London, Hants, Berks, Bucks, Surrey & Middlesex. This bike is far too nice to risk posting.

Price is £515 and a donation to LFGSS will be made.

This bike is the same age as me, and it's my birthday next week.

I normally ride a 58, also.

What is the top tube measurement please?

It's older than me by three years but has aged sooooooo much better than I have!

The top tube measures 56cm C-C and just let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.

When the stars align Dammit...

this bike is rad!

this bike is rad!

Thanks, it is a really stunning 70s road rocket!

I've had one offer to take the bike without the wheelset, I'd rather keep it whole so will give a price drop bump.
