Good Fellows, Perhaps I can add just a little to the CR archive regarding Emperor Sport.

Discussions with an old riding mate, that globetrotting cycling imp, Ray English, revealed that Emperor Sport was a business set up by Tony Mills and Mick Coward around 1980. They produced frames with Mick possibly the torchman and ran a british cyclo cross team co sponsored by Ray English and Office Associates around 1980/81.

The 'emperor' in question is a reference to Rik Van Looy. I am trying to get further info through cycles dauphin, started by one of the lads at the dissolution of the partnership. At this stage they seem more keen to sell plastic bikes rather than help with any queries.

Hopefully Further info may be forthcoming and a n entry added to classic british if warranted.
