Bill: A Windsor like that one was my first “nice” bike in about 1973. I actually bought the model just below the one you have—the tubular tires were a bit much for a young kid in junior high.
I eventually sold the Windsor when I got a car in high school. I liked that bike a lot, and I hope you enjoy yours in whatever form it takes. --Eric Norris Email: campyonly...@me.com Web: www.campyonly.com Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy On Oct 28, 2013, at 3:12 PM, Joe Broach <joebro...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ha, cool on the Windsor!
