I've seen Emperor bikes before - well I saw three bikes once, to be exact. I was taking the ferry from where I work in the Port of Dover to Calais and two cars ahead was an estate car with three road bikes on a tailgate rack. I got a better look while we were waiting to load. The name on all three frames was Emperor. One was gold, one white and one silver. Looked very high end with full Campagnolo gruppo's and racing geometry. I didn't get the chance to go and talk to the car's occupants before we boarded and we were loaded onto different decks,so no chance of making contact aboard or disembarking, I did keep a look out on the road out of Calais but didn't see them again. Looked like nice bikes though!
