Yeah, an Imperial isn't a bike I can really imagine as a commuter or bike packing or gravel rig - but what do I know? I would have put it in a category with the full-suspension bikes from the time, cool but not something you'd see getting ridden anymore, at least around here. I do suddenly wonder how many folks have an Imperial or a Le Toy stashed away for the memories though.
