In
the 1950's my father J.F.Wilson had Wilson riders riding in the Tour De
France. When riders rode in National Teams rather than today's
commercial teams. Where talent was made and brought in and not bought
in.
Ron Coe pictured here 2nd right was one rider Jim Wilson turned into a 5 times National Champion and World class road rider...Ron rode the Tour with Wilson on his National Jersey. Jim is pictured here 2nd from the left...Jim was also the manager of the very successful Elswick Hopper team.

Thanks Yasushi, that's me (Nigel Wilson) winning my hometown city centre race, August 18th 1985...On my J.F.Wilson, I was 19 years old riding for my dad's life long club the Sheffield Phoenix CC...look i even to forgot to take my pump off:-)....(who needs carbonfire, no one, just go out and do some training!)...I'd been riding in Derbyshire warming up before the event...so was well warmed up before the start...broke away with 4 laps to go...the organizers thought i was a lapped rider for the first two laps...until i yelled at them "i'm OFF THE FRONT!"...was well pleased my father was alive to see that...i would not have been a Winner without him...nor would i have had such a superb bike...my father was and will always be Mr J.F.Wilson.
